Find Your Ideal Home in the UK with UKmate —— The Trusted Choice for International Tenants

Moving to the UK for study or work can be exciting, but finding a reliable place to live shouldn't be a challenge. That’s where UKmate comes in — a London-based rental agency built specifically to support international students and young professionals with stress-free renting experiences.
Who Are We?
UKmate is an innovative real estate company founded by a team of PhD graduates who personally experienced the ups and downs of renting in the UK. We understand first-hand the confusion, language barriers, and lack of support that many overseas tenants face — which is why we created a better solution.
Since our founding in 2014, UKmate has grown into a well-established agency with a strong presence across London and beyond. With over 5000+ managed properties and 5,000+ active tenants, we’ve helped thousands of students settle into their new lives comfortably and confidently.

UKmate handles more than just your move-in. Our dedicated support team is here for you throughout your tenancy — whether you need a repair, have questions about bills, or need help extending your lease. We’re quick, responsive, and easy to reach.
