How would you describe your renting experience?

Here at Goodlord, we are pleased to announce our new mission. In preparation, we asked some current tenants to tell us about their renting experience to date.

The Goodlord team

Mar 12, 2019

Goodlord’s mission is to provide the best renting experience in the world.

We are building a product to significantly improve the renting experience for agents, landlords and tenants alike. By bringing together the core elements of the lettings process into one powerful online platform - and by integrating market-leading products and services into that journey at the optimal time - we are creating one easy-to-use platform that has the needs of the agent, landlord and tenant at the heart of the product.

Last week we hit the streets (aka a neighbouring office building) and asked a selection of current tenants what one word they would use to describe their current renting experience. See the results below!

How are you helping provide the best experience for your landlords and tenants? Join the hundreds of agents who are using Goodlord to do just that.
