History

OpenRent was founded in 2012 by two Oxford graduates, Darius Bradbury and Adam Hyslop, after experiencing the difficulties as both private landlord and tenant in the UK property market.[2]

In 2015, OpenRent had the largest number of listings, ending the year with more than 2,500 monthly listings.[3]

Investors include Northern and Shell who invested media for an equity stake in June 2014.[4][5]
