Scraye launches its zero-commission model in Bristol — full service, no fees, no asterisk

Bristol is one of the most sought-after rental markets in the UK. Sustained demand, a young and growing population, low void periods and a city that people actively choose to live in. For landlords, that should mean a straightforward return…

Scraye is changing that — starting here. The UK lettings platform is today launching a zero-commission beta in Bristol, charging landlords 0% in letting fees. Within the beta, there are no hidden charges or planned increases for Bristol landlords. The full service is included at no cost: professional photography, listings across the major UK portals, viewings conducted by vetted agents six days a week, referencing, contracts and rent collection. 

Scraye does not earn from the letting itself. Revenue comes from a suite of optional fintech products that landlords and tenants choose to use. For landlords, that means Advanced Rent, which pays landlords up to 12 months of rent as a lump sum while the tenant continues to pay monthly; and for tenants, that means deposit-replacement solutions, Guarantor Services, and an affiliate-funded rewards programme. Unlike DIY listing platforms, Scraye is an end-to-end service. Landlords do not need to arrange viewings, chase references, or manage tenant communications — Scraye handles the process end-to-end at no cost. 

Bristol has shown sustainable growth and demand. It has two major universities, a large tech and creative sector, and one of the youngest demographic profiles in England. Demand is high across the city, with average rent growth having increased to 7.4% in 2026, and void periods remain among the lowest in the South West. 

“Bristol is exactly the kind of city this model was built for — strong demand, a community that values fairness. We’re using this beta to prove that zero-commission letting is not just possible but sustainable, and Bristol is where we start.”
