Here's how it works
1
Dig out your current deposit details
We'll verify you have an existing deposit with one of the three UK deposit protection schemes.
2
Get approved to transfer your deposit
Your credit limit will match your existing deposit amount (or your share of the deposit if you live with other people). We'll run a soft credit search to check your eligibility to transfer your deposit.
3
We pay your new deposit
Once you've found your next home and paid the £49.95 set-up fee, we'll pay your new deposit directly to your letting agent by issuing an interest-free loan. If it's not quite enough, you'll top-up the difference.
4
Repay your balance
90 days later, after you've settled into your new home, you'll repay the loan. Giving you plenty of time to ensure the return of your old deposit first.
Bye-bye double deposits 👋
Over 60% of UK renters pay a new deposit before getting their old one back. This can leave renters £2,500 out of pocket. That ain’t right.
Don't live through the double deposit problem. With a Lifetime Deposit, your new landlord gets the money when they want it, and your old landlord holds onto the money until you move out. You sit there feeling smug.
