Homemove operates an all-in-one digital platform that helps users manage mortgages, surveys, conveyancing and removals during the house moving process.
Homemove has secured $5m in a funding round featuring participation from Oxford Innovation EIS Growth Fund and OION angel investors. The company provides a digital platform that brings together estate agents, mortgages, surveys, conveyancing and removals to simplify the residential property moving process.
The capital will be directed towards expanding the company footprint, developing core verticals, accelerating product innovation and building national brand recognition. Within three years of launch, the business has reached $5m in revenue, highlighting strong demand in the property sector.
Chief executive James Freestone noted that the backing will allow the platform to deepen industry partnerships and scale operations across the UK. Oxford Innovation Finance managing director Richard Cooper highlighted the complexity of the traditional home moving market as a driver for the investment.
