£350,000 cash raise for UK home moving proptech

Homemove, the proptech platform connecting sellers, buyers and renters with vetted, trusted and established home moving services, has raised £350,000 in pre-seed funding.

Led by Fuel Ventures and supported by Oracle VC and a mix of angel investors, this round of funding will be used to launch a range of CRMs, advanced communication tools and AI-powered valuation tools.

Rightmove

Industry veteran and former Rightmove commercial director Jason Busby and marketplace executive James Moore have backed the founders and joined as non-executive directors.

Homemove launched in beta last June and has already onboarded over 500 estate agents throughout the UK and built out strategic partnerships with other home moving services.

Vision

Louis O’Connell-Bristow, Homemove Co-Founder and Chief Executive (main picture, left), says: “My vision is to significantly improve the home moving process and this funding round is a major step towards achieving that goal.

“As an ex estate agent, I have witnessed first-hand the issues that can arise in the industry due to poor practices which can lead to consumers feeling sceptical and negative towards the entire sector.”

We are not just building a brand, we are building a legacy of trust and excellence.”

James Freestone, Homemove Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer (main picture, right), adds: “We are not just building a brand, we are building a legacy of trust and excellence.

“We are always pushing the boundaries to find new ways to reduce costs and stress for all parties involved, in our relentless pursuit of becoming the gold standard in customer service and streamlining transaction times, nothing is off the table.”
