Often described as the Airbnb of long-term shared living, Flaterz makes it easier for people starting new chapters in unfamiliar cities to find safe, flexible homes and connect with others on similar journeys.
As more people relocate for work, lifestyle, or personal growth, Flaterz delivers a trusted, streamlined, and community-driven way to find the right place, fast.
Built for modern renters who value flexibility, connection, and transparency, Flaterz bridges the gap between people and places. Whether you’re settling into a new job, relocating to explore new opportunities, or simply seeking a smoother move into urban life, Flaterz is designed with your needs in mind.
Designed for How People Move Today
At the heart of the platform are three powerful pillars: Trust & Security, Community & Connection, and Seamless Experience.
Trust & Security
Flaterz verifies every property and landlord, while managing secure deposits and transactions. With built-in fraud protection and transparent listings, renters can make confident decisions without second-guessing or stress.
Community & Connection
Starting over in a new city can feel overwhelming. Flaterz simplifies the journey by connecting renters directly with landlords and other renters, fostering a sense of community and quick communication. Direct messaging and WhatsApp alerts ensure fast responses and smooth coordination.
Seamless Experience
Say goodbye to endless scrolling. Flaterz offers smart property filters, personalized alerts, and direct communication so renters can act quickly and find the right fit, without the usual delays or uncertainty.
A New Way to Live, Together
The landscape of housing has changed. Urban mobility, remote work, and lifestyle-driven relocation have created a new generation of renters who prioritize flexibility, speed, and simplicity. Flaterz is at the forefront of this shift, providing tools that align with how people actually search for and secure homes today, mobile-first, visually rich, and optimized for time-strapped professionals.
It’s not just about finding a place to stay—it’s about settling in with ease, clarity, and confidence.
Manchester’s Digital Startup Activator
As part of its growth journey, Flaterz was proud to be part of the 2024/25 cohort of the Manchester Digital Startup Activator Programme, a leading initiative that supports Greater Manchester’s most promising early-stage tech ventures.
Backed by respected partners such as Slalom, Barclays Eagle Labs, RSM, the UK Government, and Bruntwood SciTech, the experience helped refine Flaterz’s product direction and strengthen its foundation for future growth across the UK and Europe.
“Participating in the Manchester Digital Startup Activator Programme was a pivotal chapter for Flaterz,” said George Lucas Ribeiro Souza, Founder & CEO of Flaterz. “It sharpened our approach, expanded our network, and gave us the tools to grow faster and with greater impact.”
Looking Ahead
New features in the pipeline include AI-powered introductions, curated local guides, and expanded landlord tools to enhance transparency and reduce friction on both sides of the rental process.
“At Flaterz, we’re not just building a platform, we’re building trust, creating connections, and giving people a better way to start new chapters,” adds Souza.
In an era where starting fresh is more common than ever, Flaterz is redefining what it means to find your place.
