Responding to the UK Housing Crisis
We're creating a marketplace that helps struggling households generate income while providing affordable accommodation for students and young professionals.
Our Mission
The UK faces an unprecedented housing crisis. With soaring rents, mortgage rates, and the cost of living crisis affecting millions of families, we recognized an opportunity to create a solution that benefits everyone.
Yo Flat Buddy was founded to address this crisis by creating a marketplace where struggling households can generate additional income by safely letting rooms to lodgers, while students and young professionals can find affordable accommodation.
We believe that every spare room represents an opportunity to help someone in need while providing financial relief to families facing economic hardship. Our platform makes this process safe, simple, and profitable for everyone involved.
By connecting hosts with verified lodgers, we're not just solving accommodation problems – we're building stronger communities and helping families weather the economic storm.
