Situation today
The UK’s housing crisis has driven rapid growth in diverse multi-residential models such as Build to Rent, Co-Living and purpose-built student accommodation. These developments must serve a wide range of lifestyles, affordability levels and tenant expectations - from young professionals to families to students. As demand rises, so does the complexity of managing secure, convenient access across apartments, communal areas, and perimeter spaces.
For property owners and landlords, the challenge is clear: how to offer a seamless and secure experience for tenants, visitors and service providers, while keeping operations efficient and costs under control. Traditional mechanical key systems bring high administrative burdens, especially during tenant turnover or when keys are lost or unreturned. There’s also increasing pressure to future-proof properties and deliver a connected, digital experience aligned with modern lifestyles.
