Europe’s largest rental platform expands into London, Manchester and Birmingham

HousingAnywhere, Europe’s largest mid-to-long-term rental platform, announced its official expansion to the United Kingdom by covering London, Manchester and Birmingham.

HousingAnywhere has extended its global footprint to meet the rising demand of internationally-mobile talents, including students and young professionals, seeking a flexible lifestyle. HousingAnywhere provides an “innovative, safe and easy to use” platform via which potential tenants are matched with accommodation providers.

The company specialises in mid to long-term rentals, with international mobility at the forefront of its functionality. With only online viewings, HousingAnywhere “ensures fair access for all”, as many prospective tenants might not be in the UK at the time of searching.

Being able to specify move-in and move-out dates, and including a 48 hour warranty system, the platform provides a safe yet flexible alternative for potential renters that can book months in advance.

In 2021/2022 there were almost three million students at UK higher education institutions with a record number of applicants applying to study in 2020, 2021 and 2022, despite the pandemic, according to UCAS (The Universities and Colleges Admissions Service).

HousingAnywhere data reveals that searches on the platform for accommodation in London have been growing considerably over the last few years. Searches for rentals in London rose by 37.7 per cent in 2022 compared to the previous year, and have continued its growth by 37.9 per cent in the first quarter of 2023.

Similarly, with the high concentration of universities in both Birmingham and Manchester, and their healthy real estate development pipeline, HousingAnywhere aims to provide the most technologically advanced solutions to both landlords and tenants in these popular cities.

Djordy Seelmann, CEO of HousingAnywhere, commented: “Entering the UK was clearly the next step for HousingAnywhere, as we aim to match the rising demand of internationally mobile students, young professionals and expats in London, Manchester and Birmingham.

“With this expansion, we are enabling people to safely find a new home not only in mainland Europe, but also in the UK and in more corners of the world.”
