A new rental property listings platform – called Krispyhouse – allows landlords and tenants to communicate directly, without letting agents acting as intermediaries.

It describes itself as a ‘dating service’ for tenants and landlords, delivering what it calls “instant connectivity” which “removes clunky communication to help tenants find properties and landlords to fill them.”

It will operate only in London via an app, offering direct messaging, video and voice calling.

The creators claim this plays to the 72 per cent of 20 to 40-year-olds who it believes prefer text-based communication.   

Krispyhouse allows tenants to upload personal details and requirements for free, and notifies them when a property becomes available. Following expressions of interest, the tenant and the landlord can quickly connect.

Chief executive Anthony Kyriacou says he came up with the idea when he was an estate agent. He says services like Rightmove and Zoopla are successful in showcasing properties, but they do not satisfy the fundamental requirement of today’s fast-paced market – instantaneous communication.  

The site’s launch statement is vague on exact pricing, saying it is free but “transitioning into a lower scalable charge of £100 per month” which grants individuals letting properties full access to a CRM system, instant communication, and unlimited advertising. 

Krispyhouse has now started a funding round and Kyriacou says: “People are time poor these days, so a rental property site that can provide a streamlined user experience is crucial. Krispyhouse allows renters, landlords and estate agents to ‘get a move on’, with an easier and quicker way to manage housing communications.”
