Your home. Your way.

At HownIt, we're committed to making buying, selling and renting property accessible to everyone.

• High-contrast colours for improved readability.
• Large, easy-to-use buttons throughout the app.
• Clear labels for forms and navigation.
• Support for screen readers where possible.
• We're continually improving accessibility based on user feedback.

Follow trusted sellers and landlords to see future listings and receive updates if a property becomes available again.

Imagine someone follows a landlord who owns five rental properties. When one tenant gives notice, the landlord relists the property. Everyone following that landlord gets a notification:

A property from (name) has just become available in (area).

Or if a sale falls through:

Good news! 24 Church Street is available again!
