ABOUT MEADOWS Built from personal frustration.
Meadows was founded by Giles Meadows after seeing friends, colleagues — and himself — struggle to get onto the property ladder despite paying high rent every single month.
The system didn’t make sense.
People were proving they could afford housing: month after month, year after year, often paying more in rent than a mortgage would cost. Yet many were still being overlooked by traditional lending rules.
- It’s free, secure and won’t impact your credit score.
