If you haven’t heard of flatfair already they are the simple, safe and affordable alternative to tenancy deposits.

Instead of an expensive deposit, tenants simply pay flatfair a small one-off membership fee and cover the cost of any established charges at the end of their tenancy. Without an expensive upfront deposit, flatfair gives landlords a competitive advantage; their properties become more affordable and attractive to a wider scope of tenants. This also helps in reducing voids.

Flatfair helps tenants and landlords settle end of tenancy charges quickly, fairly and securely, whilst protecting everyone through Independent Dispute Resolution. They facilitate fast resolution of charges and disputes with tenants – in fact, landlords may even sell them unpaid established charges up to a total value of 12 weeks’ rent. If worse comes to worst, you can appoint flatfair to recover any additional sums at no cost.
