We’re turning the property rental system on its head. The world of lettings is stuck in a time warp. Unsurprisingly, landlords and renters are fed up. The cost, the service, the inefficiency, the lack of transparency-it’s a sector that just isn’t working. Meet Howsy. A new model and vision designed to shake up the way renting works for good. Our vision? An intuitive, stress-free and fairly-priced experience that’s full of new ideas and ways of doing things. Our combination of smart tech and specialist property people are driven by an understanding of what renters and landlords need. We think it’s possible to combine great deals with low-cost service for landlords and renters. We know that the world of renting can be tough – boilers do break down at weekends and out of office hours – but it’s our job to fix things efficiently, honestly and with a smile on our face. We understand what it’s like to be a renter and a landlord. And we dispute the idea that they’re meant to be on opposite sides. In fact, great landlords and great renters are united by their love of the same thing. And it goes way beyond property. Because it’s not just about renting a place to live, it’s about finding a home you love. We’re restless in our quest to shake it up and challenge the status quo. It’s in our DNA to ask ‘how’? How can we do things differently? How can we help? How can we do better? How can we make it easier for you? And we intend to keep asking so we can keep improving and get things right.
