Keyzy is a FinTech and PropTech company focused on facilitating home ownership for young professionals and first-time buyers. It addresses the challenges of saving for a deposit and obtaining traditional mortgages by purchasing homes on behalf of its clients. Keyzy then rents these homes to clients for a period of three to seven years, during which up to 25% of their monthly rent payments can be applied toward a future deposit. Clients have the opportunity to buy the home at the original purchase price, minus the accumulated deposit. With rising house prices and a significant decline in youth home ownership, Keyzy aims to break the cycle of renting and provide a pathway to home ownership for individuals such as doctors, nurses, teachers, and civil servants, who often struggle with affordability due to increasing living costs and stringent lending criteria.
