OpenRent is an outstanding platform in every way. I was going to use a letting agent for my house, overall fee £3k. OpenRent charged a few hundred ££ for the same service, including advertising on RightMove, Zoopla etc. The house was let in 4 days.

Brilliant platform for Landlords. Saves a fortune in agent commissions and you get very quick results. I have let my property twice within the same week of advertising.

What is the Rent a Room Scheme?
The Rent a Room Scheme, otherwise known as the spare room allowance, is a fantastic way to earn extra cash from your home. It boosts your bank balance, and you don't have to pay the taxman a penny for the first £7,500 a year. Rent a room relief is a way most people won't have to pay a penny more in tax.
Both owner-occupiers and tenants can let out a furnished room in their primary home to a lodger, although tenants must first make sure their lease allows them to do so. Note it must be a furnished room - you cannot let the space out as an office or for other business purposes.
