PriceHubble, the global property data and technology business, has acquired Dataloft, a leading UK residential property market intelligence company. This marks PriceHubble’s fifth acquisition to date and represents a significant milestone in its global growth strategy following a launch in the UK market last autumn, building on the success in Europe and Asian markets.
The acquisition comes at a time when the UK housing market is showing signs of stabilising after a recent period of uncertainty but continues to be firmly in the spotlight.
For the Build to Rent sector, the acquisition creates the potential for extending the coverage of Dataloft Rental Market Analytics (DRMA).
As part of the acquisition, Dataloft will continue to operate as a separate legal entity in the UK, leveraging its well-established brand and maintaining its customer relationships, while gaining access to PriceHubble’s technology and Europe-wide data resources, under the ongoing leadership of Sandra Jones. Further integration into the PriceHubble Group is planned for the coming year.
“PriceHubble is one of Europe’s fastest growing data science proptechs. We share a product and customer vision and benefit from the acquisition in several respects. In addition to PriceHubble’s international reach and global strategy, we also gain access to sophisticated market and data technologies and reach new customer segments, particularly in the financial services sector, as well as pan-European market coverage. We will also benefit from access to the largest data science and tech team in Europe focused on residential real estate.”
