Existing user flow to rent a property and apply for tenancy
The existing user flow allowed us to identify the key stages in the process, that the user followed in renting the property. We also understand where the drop-offs are likely and customers are facing the real frustrations.
Key findings are as follows:
It takes a while to search for properties on Metro NZ because users have to make an account before they view listings related to renting.
Users get stuck when trying to find property listings on the rental page, and they're not sure what to do next.
When they try to book a property viewing, they face delays because of a third-party application for tenancy agreement details. This leads to back-and-forth conversations between the property manager and the customer.
