About Upad, Online Letting Agent
Upad was founded by James Davis, who had been (and still is) a landlord.
Upad began in 2007 and has grown into the UK’s largest online lettings agency by offering a simpler, more cost-effective way to find tenants and let a property. This has proved equally popular among landlords who previously used a high street letting agent to find tenants as well as those who used classified channels. Last year, we helped rent over 10,000 properties: our biggest year so far.
We are different because instead of being a local lettings agency, we offer a national service that enables us to offer cost savings through economies of scale. We still provide expert support to our landlords over the phone seven days a week, while the tools and know-how we offer can be accessed online any time of the day or night.
How is Upad different from a traditional high street letting agent?
Landlords switching from a high street agent to an online agent can save £1000’s in tenancy set up fees, monthly commission and renewal fees. With Upad, you are in complete control of letting your property and rather than offer an inflexible and expensive package, you pick and choose the services you need from us.
How is Upad different from other online letting agents?
Since Upad began, we have been solely focussed on building the best possible solution for landlords. We give you complete control over your letting experience whilst being there for any support or questions you may have. You will have a personal, ARLA qualified Account Manager throughout the process as well as any other additional support you may need from our team available from 8am to 8pm. An online dashboard allows you to do everything you need to facilitate a speedy let.
Does Upad work?
By advertising through Upad you are giving yourself the best chance of finding the perfect tenant for you and your property. We do the same as an agent would do by putting your property on the largest lettings portals where we know tenants go to look for their next rental: just at a fraction of the cost. Because you, not the agent, get to choose your tenant you will also be starting a professional relationship from day one.
