Reading-based Optus Homes raises £225k for tenant engagement platform

UK residential rental landlords are the primary target market for a mobile-first engagement platform that has just raised an estimated £225k. Optus Homes Ltd, based in Reading, offers a native app designed to give social-housing and private-rental tenants 24/7 access to account management, communication tools, and various services.

The investment results in an estimated post-money valuation of £2.2m for the business, which was incorporated in 2020. This capital injection represents the total funding recorded for the company during 2026.

Financial records for the year ended 31 March 2025 show the firm maintained a team of three employees. Formal documentation for this share allotment was filed in July (following an allotment date in March).
