Deposit replacement scheme Reposit has hailed a “standout first half of 2026”, achieving record growth across the business as demand for more flexible renting solutions continued to accelerate.
Strong sales performance, significant expansion within the Build-to-Rent (BTR) sector and a growing partner network all contributed to the company’s performance, the brand said.
Sales overall increased by 58% compared with the first half of 2025, while BTR performance more than doubled, with sales rising 103% year-on-year. The business also welcomed more than 195 new agent partners, reflecting increasing adoption of deposit solutions across the private rented sector.
STRONG PARTNERSHIPS
The first six months of the year also saw Reposit strengthen its position through a series of strategic partnerships. The company was appointed Goodlord’s exclusive deposit replacement partner in May after earlier joining forces with mydeposits. It also launched a new integration with Let Alliance & HomeLet’s Vision+, one of the UK’s largest tenant referencing and tenancy management platforms, making it even easier for agents to offer Reposit as part of the tenancy journey.
Reposit’s growth translated into tangible benefits for both landlords and tenants. During the first half of 2026, the business provided more than £34 million of cover for landlords, including over £12.5 million above the value of a traditional five-week cash deposit. At the same time, it helped tenants save more than £17.2 million in upfront moving costs, an average saving of £1,088 per tenancy, making renting more accessible.
This is money tenants can choose to invest and on a savings rate of 5%, that translates to more than £50 per year in interest which can be made by tenants on their deposit saving.
STAYING FLEXIBLE
Ben Grech, chief executive of Reposit, says: “The first half of 2026 has been our strongest on record and reflects growing demand for smarter, more flexible ways to meet tenant requirements. More agents, landlords and Build-to-Rent operators are recognising the benefits of Reposit’s proposition, which gives landlords enhanced protection while helping tenants avoid the significant upfront cost of a traditional cash deposit.
“As the Renters’ Rights Act takes effect, the industry is placing even greater emphasis on creating a better renting experience for everyone involved. At the same time, landlords and agents want solutions that help manage risk, giving them the confidence and enhanced protection they need to navigate an evolving regulatory landscape.
“Our continued growth, together with new partnerships demonstrates the industry is embracing new ways of working. While we’re delighted with what we’ve achieved during the first half of the year, we’re even more excited about the opportunities ahead.”
