Smartloc

Platform of tools and expert assistance founded in 2012 by two engineers graduated from Ecole Polytechnique, enabling individual landlords to manage their rental property themselves without going through a letting agency while keeping full control over their management. Smartloc provides a complete set of digital tools including the lease with electronic signature, automatic rent receipts emailed every month, rent indexation based on the French rent reference index (IRL), a comparison tool for rent-default insurance covering more than 10 policies, and furnished-rental (LMNP) tax simulators to optimise the tax return. The platform claims more than 100,000 landlord users, a 4.8 out of 5 rating, and average savings of 50 euros per month compared with traditional agency management, which represents 600 euros per year of additional spending power for the landlord. Smartloc also holds an approved insurance broker status with professional liability cover, allowing it to independently compare more than ten rent guarantee insurance (GLI) policies, including the comparison with the French State's Visale guarantee. Smartloc's model relies on providing tools and expert support while leaving the landlord full autonomy over the relationship with their tenant. Features cover the entire rental cycle, from listing the property through to the end of the lease with a security-deposit deduction simulator. 100,000+ landlord users, 4.8/5 average rating, savings of 50 EUR/month (600 EUR/year) vs agency, founded in 2012, approved insurance broker, 10+ GLI policies compared
