The human cost

Every failed transaction isn't just a statistic. It's a family who lost their dream home. A chain of 6 sales that collapsed. Weeks of stress, thousands in wasted fees.

303,538 failed sales in 2024 £2,727 avg cost per failed buyer

"We were 3 days from completion when the chain collapsed. We'd already packed. The kids had said goodbye to their friends. We lost £4,000 and had to start again."

— Typical story from 1 in 3 UK buyers

See every chain.
In real time.

The first platform to give complete visibility across interconnected property transactions. Watch as status updates propagate through the chain.

Hover over nodes to see transaction details • Click nodes to trigger status propagation • Flowing particles show real-time data sync

The Spiderweb Effect: Network Value at Critical Mass

Each property joining HomeBid doesn't just add one node — it creates multiple connections. The dashed lines show cross-chain links through shared solicitors, mortgage brokers, and search providers.

At critical mass, these connections form an information superhighway. When one transaction updates, linked properties receive instant visibility — dramatically reducing the chaos that causes 29% of sales to fail.

The market is being
forced to change.

October 2025

UK Government Launches Home Buying & Selling Reform

MHCLG acknowledges "1 in 3 transactions fail" and average completion takes "120 days". Reform is coming.

300,000 Homes Target

Government committed to 1.5M homes over parliament. Requires 50%+ increase in transaction capacity.

NHQB Quality Codes

New Homes Quality Board mandates digital records and transparent processes from January 2024.

Building Safety Act

"Golden thread" requirement mandates digital audit trails for the entire building lifecycle.

AML Enforcement

324 agents fined in 2024 alone. HMRC intensifying enforcement creates urgent compliance demand.

Open Banking

Enables instant fund verification. No more "proof of funds" PDFs — real-time bank account checks.

Digital ID Standards

National Property Transaction Network in development with Yoti, Thirdfort, Credas for interoperable digital identity.

The window is now. The market is being forced to digitise. The question isn't whether property transactions will be transformed — it's who will own the infrastructure.

Substantially built.
Ready for pilot.

This isn't a pitch for money to build something. The platform exists. We need capital to scale.
