Upad Sign Up Information

We all now know we're living through incredibly uncertain times. None of us know what the impact of the coronavirus will be in the long term. First and foremost, I hope that you and your loved ones are well.

As a predominantly online business, we are better suited than most with the challenges that the global pandemic is throwing at us, but like everyone else, we need to change and adapt quickly.

Protect yourself
Most importantly, make sure you are keeping up to date with government advice. Washing hands, working from home, social distancing - all things that you've seen in the news that are important changes for all of us.

Protect others
If you or anyone in your household are showing any symptoms of coronavirus, then you must self-isolate yourself immediately for the protection of those who are most vulnerable. If you don't need to visit your property urgently, then please try not to. This is incumbent on all of us to get through this together.

To help with social distancing, we can now offer the option of booking a Virtual Tour for ?175 if you are in the process of letting your property. A photographer will come to take 360 degree videos of your property so that prospective tenants can see what the home is really like, limiting the number of physical viewings. Please contact us if you'd like us to book a Virtual Tour and we will check if it is available in your area.

If you are planning on hosting viewings of your property yourself, then please consider doing this virtually, for example via a WhatsApp video call, Apple's Facetime, Skype or other video call technology.

Protect your income
We hope it doesn''t come to this, but if you have any rent guarantee insurance, please make sure you contact your provider to check about their specific terms in relation to coronavirus.

If you don't have any type of protection against rent arrears and would like to discuss adding this to your account, then please contact us and we would be happy to help.

Response times
Our teams are almost exclusively working from home, and whilst this is not unusual for us as a modern technology company, it is exceptional that so many of us are working remotely at the same time. Protecting our staff and the community was paramount to making this decision. As a result, our response times could be affected. We are trying to prioritise responding to urgent requests, so please bear with us if we don't get back to you quickly.

Throughout this time, we'll be relentlessly focused on doing everything we can to support you within the changing circumstances.

Please stay safe and look after each other.

Be a part of our incredible growth story

When we started Howsy four years ago, our mission was simple: make renting better for everyone. We have kick started a revolution in the lettings industry, and with you, we are building something amazing together.

On top of our unrelenting development of our technology to drive even more improvements, in the last few months we also bought two companies, Urban.co.uk and of course Upad.  By working with the Upad team, we have restored much of their excellent reputation that they had built up over the last decade. 

Today, Howsy has thousands of properties under our management, and we process millions of pounds in rental payments, whilst supporting our customers - both tenants and landlords - with our 24/7 support. Along the way, we have won a number of awards and grown our team, with offices in London, Coventry and Manila in the Philippines.

I am excited to announce our next stage of Howsy's growth, which you can be a part of. We are fundraising on Seedrs to help grow our business even further.  If you are interested, please do take a look as quickly as possible, as shares are offered on a strictly first-come, first-served basis.

On behalf of the entire Howsy and Upad teams, a big thank you for all your support so far.

As you probably know, Upad and Howsy joined forces earlier this year.  By combining together, we can continue our united vision of driving innovation for landlords and tenants, and make a real change to the private rental sector. Which is hopefully great news for everyone.

To keep innovating and delivering services that landlords like you need, we''d really like to hear your views. 

I''d really appreciate it if you could spend 5 minutes completing a survey to help us understand how we can continue to revolutionise the lettings industry.

As an added incentive, every completed survey will be entered into a draw to win a ?100 Amazon voucher.

Thank you very much in advance, 

Whether you're managing your property by yourself, or have an agent overseeing it for you, we know being a landlord can be time consuming and costly.

And with ever changing - and tightening - regulations, ensuring you're staying compliant with the law is becoming increasingly complex.

Howsy is transforming the industry - powered by smart technology but driven by people - to make renting better for everyone.  We deliver a 24/7 service that covers every aspect of property management, from tenant find to checking out.
