Two people, one home, infinite Rightmove tabs.
Roost gives you a single place to keep the shortlist, weigh up the trade-offs, and read each other's notes without sending another link at midnight.
London rentals, refined
Find a London home you’ll love, on your own or together.
Roost learns what you like in a home, from the light to the commute, and brings the best matches from London’s letting agents and landlords to the top of your feed, whether you want a whole home or a room. Then share one tracker with whoever you’re moving with, so you can vote, leave notes and decide together.
Free for 30 homes a week, then £2.99 a week.
Together
Search together, on one shared tracker.
Bring in your partner or the friends you’re moving with, and every home any of you saves lands in one shared tracker. Each of you can vote and leave a note, so you know where everyone stands without chasing anyone.
Every home moves from Saved to Contacted, Viewing arranged and Applied, and everyone sees it move. When a viewing is booked, add it to your calendar, set a reminder, keep your questions in one place, and say how it went afterwards.
Your taste
A Match that knows why.
Start with a whole home, a room, or either. Then tell Roost what you want from it: the commute, the light, the layout, the neighbourhood, even the ceiling height. The Match learns from every swipe.
Every home carries a Match, with the reasons spelled out. Light from the east. Twelve minutes to the office. Quiet street, with a loud high street round the corner. You see why a home fits before you tap in.
Scroll down and Roost lists what matches your search, and what doesn't. Double-tap a photo to save the ones you like.
Places
The places you go, on every home.
Pin the places that matter to you, like work or family, and every home shows the door-to-door journey to each one.
Choose the neighbourhoods you'd happily live in. Pick a borough and its neighbourhoods appear underneath.
Insights
See where your budget goes furthest.
Insights shows you how your budget fits into London's market, and lets you tweak it to give you the best chance.
Drag the budget and the figures follow. Then compare your areas for the same-sized home, cheapest first, with your budget drawn across them.
Notifications
The good ones rise to the top.
Roost watches new homes from London’s letting agents, and from landlords who list directly, and checks each one against your taste. When a great match turns up, it lands in your feed with a notification, so you can enquire while it’s still fresh.
The notification carries the price, the area, why it fits and a photo of the home.
Who it's for
Two people or four. Same problem, same Roost.
Roost finds whole homes and single rooms, so it works whether you’re moving on your own, as a couple or with friends.
Three or four of you, all on different timezones of a Tuesday.
Say what you think when you can, add a note when you've thought about it, and watch the Tracker move forward without anyone having to chase. Built so no one ends up the project manager.
Renting in London
Renting in London means fourteen identical search alerts, a dozen open browser tabs and a group chat full of links, and none of them knows what you actually like.
Roost is built to put the right homes in front of you, then give you a calm shared space to make the call. One place to discover, track and decide, all the way through to the day you collect the keys.

Not a slogan: figures from the 41,270 London homes Roost has tracked across 33 boroughs. See the average rent in London, by size and borough.
- Independent and built in London, by renters who got tired of the search.
- Every home is ranked on how well it fits what you asked for, and nothing else.
