    About us

    We're a technology company dedicated to improving the UK residential lettings system. Today, thousands of forward-thinking tenants, landlords and partners use our software to rent properties faster and more securely than ever before.

    Rethinking tenancy deposits

    When we started in 2016 renters struggled to pay large deposits, leaving landlords with rising void periods. Plus, the Government deposit schemes and insurance policies of the time simply weren’t benefiting both parties — often leaving someone out of pocket.

    We thought there was a better way. So our founders, inspired by the success of deposit alternatives in Germany and Switzerland, set out to rethink the UK lettings system.

    A smarter, fairer system for everyone

    Our founding idea was simple, and it remains the same to this day. We combine the most effective government deposit schemes with smart technology to make renting more affordable for tenants, more profitable for landlords and more efficient for agents and institutions.

    Our Culture

    We’re an ambitious team of digital innovators, problem solvers, technology enthusiasts, digital marketers, and finance experts. Our culture is constantly evolving with everyone who works here, but there are some things that will never change. We’re all incredibly passionate, eager to impact people’s quality of life and have the ambition to truly change the world.

    Okay, so we are already known as the most fun office in our co-working community… but that’s not what really sets us apart. We want to bring on board people who want to challenge and be challenged, who are bold enough to bring visionary ideas to the table and who know how to have fun!

    That’s why we’re looking to build a diverse, talented and sociable team of experts across the board who’ll help make flatfair a dynamic and exciting place to be.

    Interview Process

    Our interview process consists of an initial phone screen, a take-home code test, and a half-day on-site interview. We promise not to ask you any brain teasers or trick questions, and we won't make you code on a whiteboard!
