Top 100 Proptech Companies in the UK

Technology is reshaping the UK property market. From online estate agencies and digital mortgage platforms to AI-powered construction tools and smart building systems, proptech companies are transforming how we buy, sell, rent, and manage property. Investment in the sector reached a peak of £507.5m in 2021, and while funding has moderated since, 2025 still saw a healthy £230.4m raised by UK proptech companies — up from £192.4m the year before.

We’ve ranked the top 100 proptech companies by total equity raised (all data sourced from the Beauhurst platform).

What is PropTech?

Proptech — short for property technology — refers to companies using technology to innovate across the property and real estate lifecycle. This includes digital platforms for buying, selling, and renting property; property management and lettings software; mortgage and lending technology; construction tech; smart building systems; and property data and analytics.

The UK is one of the strongest proptech markets in Europe, with more than 845 proptech companies currently active. This has increased 180% in the past ten years (2015–2025).

Collectively, UK proptech companies have raised £3.05b in equity funding so far, with £1.93b secured since 2020 alone.

As they continue to grow, these proptech startups and scaleups are successfully modernising the traditionally slow-moving property industry — from speeding up transactions and reducing costs, to making buildings smarter and more sustainable.

Key findings

• Nested, an online estate agency focused on reducing exchange times and failed offers, tops the list with £173.5m raised — over £50m ahead of second-placed Causeway, a construction software provider based in the South East.
• London dominates the ranking, accounting for 64 of the top 100 companies. The South East is the second most represented region with 11 companies, followed by the North West with six. Beyond these clusters, companies are spread across the East of England, South West, East Midlands, West Midlands, Yorkshire, Scotland, and the North East — showing that PropTech innovation is not exclusively a London story.
• The majority of the top 100 are at the Venture (48 companies) or Growth (33 companies) stage, with just five Established companies making the list. This reflects a sector that is still maturing, with significant room for further scaling.
• The top 100 have collectively raised £2.28b — representing roughly 75% of all PropTech equity funding in the UK. The top five alone account for over £620m, underscoring how concentrated funding remains at the very top of the market.

The future of proptech companies in the UK

Whilst the number of new proptech company incorporations has contracted in recent years — from a height of 69 new companies in 2018 to just 21 in 2025 — investment figures tell a more encouraging story. Funding rose from £192.4m in 2024 to £230.4m in 2025, suggesting continued investor confidence in the sector’s most promising companies, even as the pipeline of new entrants narrows.

Several trends are likely to shape the next phase of UK proptech. AI is already being applied across the sector — from automated property valuations and legal due diligence to predictive construction planning — and adoption is only accelerating. Sustainability is another major driver, with smart building technology and energy management tools becoming increasingly central to meeting regulatory requirements and net zero targets.

And with the UK property market under persistent pressure from affordability challenges and an ageing housing stock, the demand for technology that can reduce costs, speed up transactions, and improve building quality is unlikely to slow down. Depending on broader economic conditions, this could support a renewed uptick in proptech company formation in the years ahead.
