Stead is the UK's home admin app for homeowners, renters and landlords. Built in Bristol, launched in closed beta May 2026, and built around how UK property actually works: EPCs, the Renters' Rights Act, gas safety, smart home, council tax, and everything else a British home needs to track.
Quick facts.
- Founded: 2026
- Location: Bristol, UK
- Stage: Closed beta
- Founder: David (based in Bristol, available for interview on background)
- Target: 11 million UK renters, plus UK homeowners and small landlords
- Funding: Bootstrapped
What Stead does.
A UK first home admin app with three modes (homeowner, renter, landlord) covering:
- Live EPC lookup direct from the gov.uk register
- Smart diagnostics aware of your specific property
- 17 UK essential maintenance presets
- Document vault with expiry warnings
- Energy tracking with EPC context
- Smart home automation across 38+ UK providers
- Emergency guides with correct UK numbers (gas leak 0800 111 999, power cut 105)
- Moving home toolkit with area research
- Tenant rights and landlord compliance content for England and Wales
Why now.
- 1 May 2026: Section 21 abolished under the Renters' Rights Act 2025
- Around 11 million renters affected across England
- Awaab's Law extending to private rentals
- No consumer facing UK tool currently exists for any of this
Founder quote.
For use on background.
"UK households deserve a home admin app built around the way British property actually works. EPCs, the Renters' Rights Act, gas safety, council tax, smart devices, every certificate and reminder that keeps a home running. Stead pulls it all into one calm place that knows about your specific property."
