Spleet, a Nigerian real estate technology business, and Repit, a rental aid expert located in the United Kingdom, have announced cooperation.
Repit provides relocation services such as home search and viewings, referencing guidance, paperwork support, and settling-in recommendations.
The goal of this collaboration is to help Africans relocate to the United Kingdom and find acceptable rental housing.
Africans relocating to the UK can benefit from this partnership by receiving a 5% discount on services supplied by Repit from Spleet. These services include advice on what to expect from the UK rental market as well as how to behave in a number of settings.
Access to a dashboard for quick tracking of their numerous property alternatives is also available. The agreement is expected to benefit Africans relocating to the UK for the aim of starting a family, finding work, or furthering their education.

Remarks From the CEO of Spleet
Akintola Adesanmi, CEO and Co-founder of Spleet, made the following statement regarding the partnership: “We are excited to partner with Repit to provide Africans rental support during their relocation to the UK, moving to a new country can be challenging, especially when it comes to finding a new home.
“Immigrants often face difficulty during this process due to unfamiliarity with the UK rental market and legal requirements, no payslip as proof of financial backing, no guarantors etc. Our partnership with Repit will make the process easier and stress-free for everyone.”
Moving to a different country can be a very difficult experience, especially if you are concerned about finding a place to live that is both comfortable and secure for you and your family.
Due to the fact that African immigrants in the UK are often unfamiliar with local customs and practices, negotiating the rental market can be an especially challenging experience for these individuals. Because of this, the process of choosing a place to live that is suited for this immigrant might become an additional source of worry and anxiety for them.
The absence of guarantors, compliance with legal requirements, and proof of financial backing are some of the most prominent sources of frustration for African immigrants in the UK. Through its partnership with Repit, Spleet will be able to offer concrete solutions that will assist in making the process of relocating African immigrants more inclusive, seamless, and equitable for all Africans.
