Leading property data firm TwentyCI may be up for sale, it has been revealed. When approached for comment by The Neg, the company refused to deny rumours that it may be sold.

TwentyCI and its subsidiary TwentyEA are specialists in producing information about residential properties. They boast a database of 32 million homes.

A spokesperson responded to The Neg’s enquiries about a possible sale by saying: “I can confirm that these are rumours.”

TwentyCi was formed in 2009 from the consultancy and database marketing division of the Dataforce Group. It claims to be “the UK’s largest and most sophisticated home mover database”. There are 35 staff working for the company, its latest accounts reveal.

Major change

Chain management tool ViewMyChain, which is part of the TwentyCI group, relaunched in September with a major change to its offering.

New ‘pre-built property chains’ were created so there is no longer a reliance on agents finding the time to populate the data to make the tool work.

View My Chain, which launched in 2016, enables agents, conveyancers and consumers to track a property chain from SSTC to completion.

Four years ago, one of the property industry’s most senior tech pioneers, Mark Witherspoon (pictured), was hired by TwentyCI as its non-exec chairman.

Witherspoon was brought on board to help the Milton Keynes-based company achieve the next phase of its growth.
