Founded in 2008 by Portfolio Landlord James Davis, Upad has serviced over 15,000 landlords and helped let more than 30,000 properties across the UK. This is the equivalent of a 60 branch high street agency. Upad prides itself on remarkable customer service and continuous technology innovation. In return, a third of its customers have referred a new landlord and over 50% have returned to let another property. Through a comprehensive understanding of the PRS, Upad enable landlords to get their property advertised on Zoopla and Rightmove within 24 hours, generating on average 35 tenant enquiries. Upad also provides a dedicated ARLA-qualified account manager to see the process through right up until the contract is signed and the tenant moved in. Traditionally landlords would expect to pay upwards of £1000 to let their property, Upad landlords receive this service for just £120. Upad landlords have more control and can select the most suitable tenant, which often leads to a longer lasting tenancy.

Upad have an army of loyal customers who have done everything from leave more than 600 five star reviews on Trustpilot to investing over £1m directly into the business.
