Goodlord and Vouch

 

Based in Sheffield, Vouch was founded in 2017 by Simon and Jaime Tillyer, former letting agents with over 15 years experience. Vouch joined the Goodlord family in July 2020, becoming part of the Goodlord group. The group aims to offer its combined 2,500+ clients throughout the UK a wider choice of software offerings and access to a sector-leading end-to-end platform, which this integration has now achieved.

With both businesses offering complementary services to the sector, the integration has been designed to maximise choice for customers.

The integration means that users of the Goodlord platform can now benefit from Vouch’s fixed-cost digital referencing solution – which starts from £5 per reference – saving agents time without the need for outsourcing. Vouch is now also able to provide Goodlord customers access to new commission-based revenue streams, such as their home move assistant; a portal designed to ease the transition of home services for tenants.

In turn, agents currently benefiting from Vouch’s digital referencing services can access the award-winning features Goodlord has built to save agents time, ensure they remain compliant, and enable them to offer additional services to landlords and tenants. Goodlord’s industry-first model brings together all of the core elements of the lettings process – from sending the offer letter and signing contracts, to move-in services and insurance provision – in one streamlined online platform.

This integration of services also means that Vouch customers are able to provide Goodlord’s award-winning Rent Protection and Legal Expenses Insurance to their landlords.
