Our Founder
Who Runs the Show?
I look back on all our success and my heart feels warm when I remember how it all began. I didn't start Househat because I needed help dealing with Student Accommodation abroad out there.
In fact, it was quite the opposite.
It was fear that gave me the drive to start this Company. You might wonder how fear can cause someone to get initiative for a business which leads to my story, and mind you it's not an 'Alice in the Wonderland' story. A bit more like 'Alice on the Borderland'.
Like so many others, I came over to the UK for the purpose of furthering my Studies. After a year, I realized that I was still Fresh off the boat. I was scared when my Visa was about to expire, I knew I had to do Something and explore the opportunity of businesses UK had to offer.
There was no going back for me. It was a moment of fear and survival. I had to take action or risk losing everything. And that fear acted as a gem that contributed to my idea for this company.
I started working odd jobs to make ends meet while I was actually building the Foundations of Househat. I was alone on this journey, and I had to wear all the hats on to help reach my target, which was not an easy feat. But I was determined to make it work.
I exhausted all the funds in my bank account and every single penny I had to my name. But I learned that you don't need money to start a business; you need FIRE. And with the right timing, dedication, opportunity, marketplace, and a taste of skill set, you can create a successful business.
That's how Househat came to be. It was born out of a sense of survival, determination, and hard work. Today, we are proud to offer the Best Student Accommodation in the UK and Australia, as well as other housing solutions, and we continue to grow without forgetting our humble beginnings.
I want to Thank each and every one of you for being a part of this journey. Your support and trust means the world to us, and we are committed to providing you with the best service possible.
