It’s part two of our PHA Proptech series and as we move around our property board, we begin to look at the stand out businesses innovating the industry and making it easier to buy a property in the UK.
From online platforms that help potential buyers determine what they can afford compared to other buyers looking in the area, to a startup that guarantees to sell your property in 90 days, or they’ll provide the funds to make the homeowner’s next purchase interest-free.
Here are our six favourite Proptech startups supporting the property buying process.
