Solo · Mutuals · Invites
Momentum before the group exists.
Invites, mutual signals and compatibility sit together, so solo students can keep browsing while real options start forming.
Bristol · September 2026 intake
The housing app for finding your people first.
Maison helps students keep browsing People, form or complete a compatible group, move into Homes when the group is ready, and contact agents as one verified decision-ready island.
People
Find compatible housemates without losing your own momentum.
Groups
Build around any target size, from two people to bigger houses.
Homes
Vote, enquire, and coordinate together once the group is ready.
For students
Start wherever you are. Maison keeps the group moving.
Whether you already have a nearly-complete house group or you are starting solo, Maison helps you find compatible people first, then move into homes only when the group is ready.
Already together
Have a group, but need one more?
Bring your group into Maison, keep the open place visible, and find compatible people to complete it.
Some momentum
Have a few people in mind?
Use mutuals and invites as signals, not dead ends. You can keep browsing while decisions are still open.
Starting solo
Looking for your first housemates?
Start with People, shortlist compatible students, and build towards a property-ready group.
01 · PEOPLE
Browse and build social momentum
Express interest, keep browsing, review mutuals, send invites, or ask to join without being pushed out of valid People access.
02 · GROUP
Form around a real target size
Maison treats a group as a living field, not a hardcoded two or three person step. Open places stay visible until the group is complete.
03 · HOMES
Shortlist and vote together
Each member can pick homes. Group overlap, votes and enquiries turn private preference into a shared decision.
04 · CHAT
One thread for the group island
Agent replies, group decisions and coordination stay in Maison so everyone sees the same picture.
The current app
From People momentum to Homes decisions.
Group field
The group is shown as a living state.
Members, open places and readiness stay visible without reducing the journey to a flat checklist.
Homes · Vote
Property decisions happen together.
Photos, specs, decision signals and private votes move the group from interest to a decision-ready enquiry.
Island enquiry
One shared thread after contact.
Replies come back into Maison, so everyone sees the same next step instead of forwarding messages around.
Protection
Built to protect the group before anyone signs.
Maison brings safety, verification and renting common sense into the journey: who is in the group, what the group decided, what the agent received, and what students should check before money or documents move.
People
Trust before momentum
Profiles, invites and mutuals are shown as signals, with block and report paths kept part of the product rather than hidden away.
Homes
Clear checks before commitment
Maison reinforces the basics students need: view first, verify the agent, keep paperwork, and confirm deposit protection.
Enquiry
One island, no personal email chase
The group contacts agents as a shared island, so replies and next steps stay visible to everyone in Maison.
Before you commit
Protection follows the whole journey.
From compatible people to verified group enquiries, Maison keeps the important checks close to the decision.
View before paying
Verify the agent or landlord
Confirm deposit protection
For letting agents
Verified groups, not loose student leads.
Maison helps agents hear from complete, verified, decision-ready groups who have already aligned on budget, timing, area and intent. Less time qualifying individuals; more time progressing groups that can actually take the home.
✓Verified group enquiries arrive with size, budget, timing and shared requirements already attached.
✓Group votes show that the enquiry is backed by collective intent, not one speculative renter.
✓Replies return to the shared Maison thread, so the whole group can act without forwarding chains.
