Lettings agency group Sheldon Bosley Knight has entered a strategic partnership with deposit alternative service flatfair.

This includes all of SBK’s brands, including the recently acquired Loveitts. They will all now offer flatfair’s No Deposit product. 

Rebecca Dean, lettings director at Sheldon Bosley Knight, says “Letting a property comes with lots of uncertainty for landlords, so we are always looking for ways in which we can improve our services and offerings to them, our clients, to ensure they are protected in every possible way when being a landlord.

“For a tenant, choosing flatfair as a deposit alternative reduces upfront moving costs and gives the ability to move to a new home without having to find another five weeks deposits when they may already have a deposit locked into another tenancy.

“This new offering will strengthen our proposition, providing landlords with more protection and enabling tenants to move without excessive upfront moving costs.”

Flatfair claims its momentum is growing , with over 65 agents and Build To Rent operators using it in 2024, including Andrews, Spicer Haart and Beales.
