Founded in 2021, Keyzy operates a rent-to-own platform that lets tenants sign fixed-term leases with pre-agreed purchase prices, allowing up to 100 % of their rent to count toward the 10 % deposit needed to buy the home—often within two years rather than the 14 years typically required to save. Its technology leverages Open Banking and other data sources to verify income, set budgets, and approve applications quickly. During the lease period, residents receive home-buying coaching via Keyzy’s Klink app and gain credit-history benefits through reported rent payments. The company currently serves West and North-West London and plans to add several more neighbourhoods soon. Keyzy’s model targets young professionals and key workers who struggle with traditional deposit hurdles. Its first cohort of tenants is already converting from renters to owners, evidencing early product traction. The firm now has capital to acquire 250+ additional homes, aiming to make rent-to-own a mainstream route to UK homeownership.
