List properties, receive enquiries from pre-referenced tenants, manage viewings and offers, sign the agreement and keep the tenancy organised without appointing a letting agent.
List for free. Pay once: a flat £49 landlord fee, only when you have found a tenant through Hilltro.
High street agents typically charge a tenant-find fee of around one month's rent, or 8–15% of rent every month plus VAT for full management, often with renewal fees and a fixed-term tie-in. Hilltro charges one flat £49, only when you let, with no commission, no tie-in and no notice period. On a £1,500 pcm tenancy a 10% management fee is roughly £1,800 a year, every year the tenant stays.
Applicants arrive with identity verified against an official document with a facial match, and affordability already evidenced, so you can see who can actually proceed before agreeing a viewing rather than five to ten days after an offer.
Viewings, structured offers you can compare, digital tenancy agreements signed online, deposit protection records, EPC, gas and EICR expiry tracking with reminders, rent changes and payment records, and statutory notices prepared on the current prescribed forms — all included, free for life.
Add your property and ask the tenant to submit their offer through Hilltro. The tenant completes referencing and you receive their verified application summary. Referencing and ongoing management tools do not carry a separate charge.
Hilltro lets private landlords list a property, receive enquiries from pre-referenced tenants, arrange viewings, compare offers, sign the tenancy agreement and manage the tenancy directly. You remain in control and deal with the tenant without appointing a letting agent.
Add your property to Hilltro and ask the tenant to create an account and send their offer through the platform.
