Home Made Secures £2 Million to Expand Premium Online Letting Agency

  • Home Made, a London-based premium online lettings agency, has raised £2 million in Series A funding led by VentureFriends

  • The company aims to disrupt the traditional letting agent model by offering a high-end service at a low online fee

  • Home Made plans to use the funding to expand its offering, develop its technology, grow its customer base in London and beyond, and hire new staff

  • The company recently launched Sentinel, a tool that detects illegal subletting by tenants via short-let websites such as Airbnb, aiming to address a growing issue in London.

      "The problem Home Made is trying to solve is a broken letting agent model, where high-street agents offer average service and charge extortionate fees, while online agents typically charge low fees but offer a worse service as a result."

      Solution

      "Home Made offers a premium online lettings agency service that provides a high-end experience, including accompanied property viewings and working until 10 pm at night, on weekends and bank holidays, for a low online fee starting at £948 +VAT."
