About

We’re here because buying a home should be a seamless experience But the reality is, the property industry is all over the place. You’ve got banking, estate agency, mortgage advice, lending, conveyancing, and surveying, all doing their own thing. In their own worlds, and not as connected as they could be! We’re on a mission to fix this.

Using technology and open property data to bring all those home-buying services together and make them work like a dream team. No more wasted time or duplication. We aim to give buyers and sellers a unified experience, making the home buying and selling experience better for everyone involved.

Our vision is simple: to be the place everyone goes to manage their home-buying journey! We aim to be with buyers and sellers every step of the way, supporting them and making sure they have an amazing experience from start to finish.
