AI in your pocket is about to change renting forever 🤖
Rajeev Nayyar - founder of Fixflo and now running MarketRent - is warning that agentic AI products are coming fast, and the government is massively unprepared.
We're talking AI that doesn't just answer questions - it acts. Imagine a tenant's phone flagging that their gas safety certificate expired 2 days ago and asking "shall I report this to the council?" Or spotting a deposit registered a day late and offering to flag it to the authorities - all without the tenant needing to know the law themselves.
Kristjan and Rajeev break down what this means for landlords, agents and the wider rental market in the full episode of The Viking Chats - link in bio.

When was the last time a piece of post actually stopped you in your tracks? 🛑
Sandra from Dataloft by PriceHubble shares a brilliant moment - a homeowner received an agent's leaflet, nearly binned it like every other, but something made her stop and read it cover to cover. She didn't even notice the Dataloft branding until the very end.
That's the magic right there. Whether it's print or social media, you have a split second to make someone think "hold on - what's this?" and in today's attention economy, that moment is everything.
Kristjan and Sandra break down how the best content - digital or physical - works the same way. It grabs you, pulls you in, and leaves an impression before you've even realised it's happened.
Are your marketing materials doing that for your business?

Trust is everything when you hand over your property to someone else 🔑
Sophie says that from the moment Base took over managing her London home, she felt completely at ease - trusting every quote, every contractor, every decision made on her behalf.
And that's no accident. When Kristjan and his business partner An set up Base Property Specialists, trust and relationships were built into the foundations of the business from day one.
One thing they feel strongly about - agents taking commission on maintenance works creates a direct conflict of interest. Not enough agents are transparent about the kickbacks they earn, and even when they are, it means their recommendations might not always be in your best interest as a landlord.
At Base, that's never been how they operate. Their job is to make sure you get genuine value for money on every piece of work carried out on your property - full stop.
Would you want to know if your agent was adding a slice onto your maintenance bills? 👇

The Shard. Canary Wharf. The City. The London Stadium. The ABBA Arena. All visible from your balcony — or through the floor-to-ceiling windows from your sofa. This luxurious two-bed, two-bath apartment at River Heights in Stratford is about as close to skyline living as London gets. Nearly 750 sq ft of beautifully finished space, two balconies, a residents gym, roof terrace, 24hr concierge, and the Elizabeth Line a short walk away. A home in the sky, in every sense. 🌆✨

Psychology is the secret weapon behind some of the biggest names in tech 🧠
Sammy Pahal of the UKPA might not consider herself a techie or a property person - but her psychology background might actually be her biggest advantage when it comes to driving transformational change in the industry.
And she's not alone - even the CEO of Anthropic comes from an arts and psychology background.
Maybe understanding people really is the key to understanding technology.

Did you know achieved rent data was basically a black hole in the property industry until recently? 🕳️
Sandra from Dataloft by PriceHubble breaks down how they're filling that gap - pulling from Land Registry, EPCs and beyond - but it's their achieved rent dataset that's the real game-changer. No one had it, no one thought they needed it, but for anyone serious about understanding the rental market, it turns out it was the missing piece all along.
And the Virgin Media story says it all - they nearly wrote off renters as a customer base entirely, assuming they were unreliable and not worth the investment. The reality? Younger, tech-savvy and arguably their ideal audience. The data told a completely different story to the assumption.
This is exactly why good data matters in property - and why Kristjan and Sandra's conversation on The Viking Chats is worth your time.

Leafy street. Ground floor Victorian conversion. Interior-designed throughout with period-style touches and contemporary fittings. A big open-plan living space, a patio garden out back, and an Overground station just around the corner. This is the kind of flat that makes renting in London feel worth it. 🏡🌿

Rent reviews just got a whole lot easier 🙌
Rajeev Nayyar - the founder of Fixflo and now the brains behind MarketRent - breaks down how his new platform is tackling one of the biggest pain points in property management right now.
From building your comparables pack and securing landlord instructions, to managing negotiations between multiple parties and documenting everything at the end - MarketRent handles the whole process end to end.
If rent reviews have been giving you headaches, this one's worth a watch.

Finding a letting agent who actually manages your property - what a concept 😅
Sophie had been living in Australia while her London family home was rented out, and her original agent was doing absolutely nothing - just forwarding every tenant query straight back to her. What's the point in paying management fees for that?
By 2011 she went searching online and stumbled across Base Property Specialists - and as she puts it herself, it was probably the best thing that could have happened to her. We're proud to have looked after Sophie and her property for the next 15 years.
If your current agent is letting you down, it might be time to make the switch.

The most iconic "startup origin story" we've ever heard... 👶
Sandra from Dataloft by PriceHubble didn't just launch a business - she did it from a hospital bed, hours after giving birth.
When Simon Harris called to say the team were resigning and launching something new, the nurses actually came in to tell her she had him on the phone. No mobiles back then - just a hospital landline and a life-changing conversation she definitely hadn't planned for that day.
Her response? Something along the lines of "let me think that one through" - which, all things considered, might be the most composed reply in startup history.
She spent her entire maternity leave planning the business. The rest, as they say, is history.
Catch the full conversation between Kristjan Byfield of Base Property Specialists and Sandra from Dataloft by PriceHubble on The Viking Podcast.
