Pricehubble expands to UK
Zurich-based real estate data and technology company Pricehubble calls its UK market entry a "milestone" in its expansion.
The move comes at a time when lending and interest rates in the UK property market are increasingly in the spotlight. For the six-year-old company, the U.K. is its 10th market after Switzerland, France, Germany, Austria, Japan, the Netherlands, Belgium, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The company says it currently serves more than 1,500 corporate clients, including Credit Suisse in Switzerland and BNP and Axa in France. In the U.K., the focus will now be on partnering with banks, asset managers, estate agents, mortgage advisors, IFAs and FinTechs.
Pricehubble co-founder Stefan Heitmann calls the move to the UK a "milestone" in the global expansion strategy. The UK, he says, is the most dynamic and arguably the most competitive real estate market in Europe. As part of the expansion into the UK, Tony Prestedge, formerly deputy CEO of Santander and Nationwide, has joined Pricehubble as an investor and advisor. (aw)
