Company mission
We believe that you should be able to fall in love with your dream home and get the keys the same day. We’re building a company that will do this so well that it will underpin every single residential property transaction in the world.

Our take
Selling or buying a home is an extremely stressful process, involving lengthy waits and complicated paperwork. Overall, it takes on average 6 months to buy or sell a home in the UK, and even then 1 in 3 transactions simply collapse.
Propelr is a company challenging this norm. It’s developing a platform with the ambitious aim of shortening this process to fewer than 4 weeks - a feat which would no doubt make it a popular alternative to the more traditional options available.
The founding team is an impressive mix of property industry veterans and unicorn startup builders. The company is in its early days but is already revenue-generating. Overall, the concept is an exciting one and definitely one to watch.

Inspiring mission (1)
In contrast to so many startups looking to solve totally unnecessary problems, I was really drawn to Propelr's mission to change the way we buy and sell homes in the UK. Buying an apartment in London is such a stressful experience – it definitely was for me – I joined to help change the way we do it for good.

I love to go to the gym when it's quiet, around 3pm, two or three days a week. I compensate by doing a bit of work in the evening after dinner. This really works for me and allows me to balance my health and my career. I love that Propelr trusts me to manage my own time.

Our leadership team prioritise open and honest communication, which for an early stage startup is so refreshing. I've been part of conversations related to our changing product, tech stack and funding rounds. It gives me confidence that we'll keep an open and honest culture as we grow this year.
