flatfair Wins Innovation at the Property Week Tech Innovation Awards 2026

We’re celebrating a huge milestone! flatfair has been named the winner of Best Affordable Housing Innovation at the Property Week Tech Innovation Awards 2026, recognising our commitment to making renting more affordable, accessible and fair for everyone. The award celebrates innovation that is helping to tackle some of the biggest challenges facing the housing sector, and we’re delighted to see our work recognised alongside others driving positive change across the property industry.

Representing flatfair at the ceremony, Gary Wright, CEO and Matt Rushworth, Finance Director proudly collected the award on behalf of the team, marking a fantastic moment for everyone who has contributed to our journey.

At flatfair, we believe that renting should be simpler, fairer and more accessible.

For too long, traditional rental deposits have placed unnecessary financial pressure on tenants, requiring them to tie up significant amounts of money before they can even move into their new home.

We set out to challenge that.

Through our innovative rental solutions, including our No Deposit option, we're helping tenants reduce the upfront costs of moving while giving landlords and letting agents greater flexibility and confidence.

Our approach is built around a simple idea: renting should work better for everyone. And this award is a fantastic recognition of the progress we're making towards that goal.

Technology has the power to transform the property sector, but we believe the most meaningful innovation starts with understanding the challenges people face. For tenants, affordability remains one of the biggest barriers to securing a home. For landlords and letting agents, balancing financial protection, operational efficiency and a positive customer experience is equally important.

By rethinking traditional rental processes and introducing smarter alternatives, we're helping to create a more flexible and accessible rental market.

Winning Best Affordable Housing Innovation reinforces our belief that meaningful change comes from combining innovative technology with solutions that deliver genuine value. Behind every innovation is a team of people determined to make things better. This award belongs to everyone at flatfair, from the teams developing and improving our products to those supporting our customers, working with our partners and helping bring our vision to life every day.

We're committed to continuing to challenge outdated processes, embrace new technology and develop solutions that make a tangible difference for tenants, landlords and letting agents alike.

Winning Best Affordable Housing Innovation at the Property Week Tech Innovation Awards 2026 is an incredible honour, and an exciting reminder of why we do what we do.

Here's to more innovation, more progress and a fairer future for renting.
