Problem/Pain2
Price: It is one of the main factors that can influence customers’ choice
and it can represent a big issue for some of them.
Frequent Movers: such as students are most likely to move from
Country to country because of their studies or they are the one
That change flat/room really often.
No easy/fast way: to search and book a flat or a room. Most of the time,
we spend is in searching and dealing for an accommodation with
Landlords, real estate agents, other tenants, etc..
Paper ads/fb ads: many students still list and find rooms or a house
through paper ads on boards and on Facebook groups, making the
process really slow.
Solution3
Time is money: The platform allow people to rent out their property
(monetarising), let a new house or room in a easy and fast way (saving), and
Last but not least, the amount of time saved is invaluable.
Home value and protection: Unlock the full possibilities of houses,
maximizing the value of the properties through an excellent property
Management, and by insuring the property.
Digital Contract: Through the platform it will be possible to sign
a regular contract online with just 1 click. It will protect, both tenants and
landlords and help them through other extra services ( e.g. bank accounts)
A web platform: in which students and even frequent movers can save
time, energies and money in finding a new accommodation. Make money,
when they rent out their houses during free periods and sharing cultural
experiences.
