Automated lettings platform PlanetRent has agreed a partnership with another PropTech operator to offer virtual tours of rental properties.

The partnership with The 360 View allows agents to create so-called ‘immersive’ virtual tours that they can attach to the property listing through the PlanetRent platform. Renters who use PlanetRent will be able to access a four-minute virtual tour of their chosen property, while accessing additional information about rent, location and size.

PlanetRent, which claims to automate processes such as compliance and marketing, has been developed in-house by residential property consultancy Ringley Group. In addition to allowing residents to view properties, the platform ensures landlords are fully compliant by providing legally required paperwork: it also comes with a deposit-free option and has a standardised pet-friendly clause that agents and landlords can insert into tenancy agreements.
