Keyzy, the UK FinTech helping aspiring homeowners get onto the property ladder, has secured €147 million in asset-backed funding from Crayon Partners to acquire over 250 rent-to-own homes across Greater London, targeting young professionals and key workers priced out of traditional homeownership. Its model converts up to 100% of rent into a future deposit, enabling tenants to reach a 10% down payment in as little as two years instead of the typical 14. Within a strong year for European PropTech, Keyzy’s large acquisition-backed strategy stands out as one of the most capital-intensive plays, positioning rent-to-own as a scalable alternative path to ownership amid worsening rental and affordability pressures.
