About Home Made
The lettings industry is notorious for its lack of trustworthiness and transparency - we are fighting to change this. At Home Made we are on a mission to develop the trusted rental ecosystem that works for both landlords and renters. We believe that renting and letting a home should be easy, fair and cost-effective.
In 5 years we've grown to become the ‘go to’ provider of the UK’s largest Build to Rent owners and operators, such as Grainger, Quintain Living, Get Living, Greystar, and many others, as well as thousands of private landlords.
Having raised $9M to date and are now looking to triple in size before our next round of VC funding in Q2-2022. We are proud to be listed as one of the UK’s Top-100 startups in 2021 (by Startups.co.uk and Seedtable).
