Creating a better property market for everyone

The ideas developed in the prototype seem too good to leave there, so the team raise a small Seed round and pull together a coalition of companies to test a working pilot. Fifteen NatWest mortgage customers became the first people to explore what it would be like moving home if buyer, seller, estate agent, conveyancer, broker and bank were all on the same app. They love it.​

With the ideas so well received, the team raises £3m of international venture funding and starts work on the foundation of Coadjute: the digital data backbone. They involve property professionals and technology partners to develop their ideas, and to get the word out, they take over as the headline sponsors of the ESTAS Forum and Awards.

After 18 months of technical development Coadjute goes live in July 2021, and a 3-bed in Kent becomes the first property on the platform. They land £6m of venture funding to develop products and go to market. The team decide to "open source" the data standards they’d developed for the industry.  

A range of partners connect to the platform and the team starts to grow. Coadjute was ranked as one of the most innovative companies in property and featured in The Financial Times. They sponsor a new “Working Together Better” award at The ESTAS, promoting collaboration between estate agents and conveyancers, and move into permanent offices in central London.

The team are invited by the Bank of England to demonstrate how funds and titles could be moved in future. The work receives international acclaim, and demonstrates the breadth of what Coadjute can do. They launch digital identity sharing and a new design that is much easier to use, and investors provide a further £4m to fund developments.

With the market-changing potential for our platform clear, investors including Lloyds Banking Group, Nationwide, NatWest and Rightmove come together to back the team to the tune of £10m. The largest franchise group of estate agents in the UK, The Property Franchise Group, announce they will be rolling out with Coadjute. The team launch Assured Compliance, their first fully managed service.

Coadjute is now growing nationally. They are twice featured in The Times, who quote their potential to transform the home-buying process as being "immense". The government even says in its major Home Buying and Selling consultation "we will build on innovation... such as Coadjute’s digital platform”. 

New estate agents are joining every day, and the largest estate agent in Scotland, Rettie, comes on board too. In an industry first, the team announce their proprietary 'Assured Compliance' framework.

Coadjute continues to grow rapidly as more and more property professionals trust them with their critical governance, risk and compliance needs. Work starts on the next generation of the Coadjute platform....
