July has seen a bumper month for Home Telecom, securing 3,800 new broadband customers, with 50% (1,980) also choosing to take out a new energy supply.
Home Telecom has been servicing a niche within the rented property arena for the past thirteen years by structuring competitive partnerships with the UK’s largest letting agents and referencing companies.
The record month comes as Home secured an additional letting partnership in late June of this year and an increase in new tenancies as the letting industry reports a 20% increase compared to this time last year.
The brand has a unique approach, being able to offer flexible “tenant” based contracts, along with an array of network choices, to ensure the end user always receives the best price and speed. As it stands, Home is able to offer customers broadband on all national ISPs, such as BT, Vodafone, Talk Talk, Sky, and Virgin, with the added bonus of operating with pretty much all of the “open access” alternative networks.
Interestingly, with the push for a full-fibre nation, Home is also finding a new solution with landlords, whereby the landlord is promoting the property as being “Full Fibre ready”. It’s clear households have never been more “bandwidth hungry”, so being able to advertise a property with super-fast speeds, inclusive of rent, creates a huge USP for prospective tenants.
Nigel Barnett, CEO of Home Telecom, said, “There’s no doubt, it’s thanks to the hard work of our incredible teams and our letting partners, that we’ve been able to add this many organic customers in one month, in an industry that has never seen this level of competition.
Being able to communicate with thousands of new tenants every month is a strong driver, but being able to offer the right package for consumers is key. We’ve always supported the letting industry by providing flexible contracts that allow customers to get fast broadband when they move in, but more importantly, a contract that ends when they move out, including six-month agreements.
Of course, the growth wouldn’t be possible without being able to provide and prove outstanding customer service. Having a Trustpilot rating of Excellent, across 13,000+ reviews, is a testament to the hard work of our customer services team and an enabler for new customers wanting to join our existing 100,000 strong customer base
I’m excited to bring continued growth and success within our niche and we hope to announce two additional partnerships by the end of the year.”
