The UK property sector has seen significant growth in recent years, particularly in rental properties, driven by a new generation of technological innovation.

This has been led by property technology, a fast-evolving space that is continuing to reshape how real estate is sold, bought, financed and managed.

From AI platforms focussing on mortgages to intelligent tools that landlords, investors and developers can utilise, Proptech is streamlining processes, enhancing transparency, and delivering smarter solutions across the property sector.

In this article, we will explore the role of Proptech and the top 10 Proptech companies in the UK, as ranked by Beauhurst. We will also explore the emerging trends and future of the industry, and how GS Verde Group can provide its services within property law to ensure your business’s long-term success.

What is Proptech?

Property technology, also known as Proptech, refers to the use of digital tools and platforms to enhance and streamline property and real estate processes. These solutions streamline the property lifecycle; from searching and financing a home, construction and management, to compliance and tenant experience.

Proptech platforms apply technologies such as AI, cloud software and open banking to solve specific challenges within the property sector. This includes automating reference checks for rental tenants, enabling remote ID verification during conveyancing and live dashboards for construction sites.

The rise of Proptech is helping property professionals, investors, agents and landlords to work smarter, make data-driven decisions, and offer better customer service.

UK Proptech Trends in 2025

So far in 2025, Proptech continues to be one of the UK’s most vibrant and high-growth technology industries.

There are several key trends that are driving the sector forward, which include:

• AI and automation: AI is being used to inject smarter mortgage applications, automate repair requests in property management, and provide landlords with predictive analytics support.
• Combining Platforms: More businesses are building all-in-one tools that enable agents, developers or landlords to manage multiple elements — such as financing, compliance, and communication — from a single platform.
• Regulatory compliance: With an increasing focus on anti-money laundering and verification, businesses are implementing Proptech platforms, such as digital ID tools, to ensure compliance.
• Fintech convergence: There is a blurred crossover between Proptech and Fintech nowadays, with platforms offering credit scoring, open banking, rent tracking, and real-time cash flow management to target audiences.
• Consolidation and exits: As the market matures, larger corporates and private equity firms are acquiring fast-growing Proptech firms to enhance their service offerings.

With property transactions still often perceived as complex and fragmented, Proptech is providing much-needed simplification and transparency across the sector. These trends, and many more, strongly position the UK as a global leader in Proptech innovation.

The Future of Proptech

As technology continues to develop, Proptech looks set to take the UK property industry to another level of evolution. Influenced by a rising demand for transparency and efficiency, Proptech companies are now delivering digital tools with the goal of enhancing every stage of the property lifecycle.

Looking ahead, key areas of growth include:

• Convergence with Fintech: This will enable landlords, renters and buyers to have access to smarter financial services and embed them directly within property platforms. This will include credit-building tools and rent tracking.
• Regulatory pressure: We will see regulation pressures shape the future of the Proptech sector, with increasing emphasis on anti-money laundering (AML), identity verification, and secure digital onboarding while offering a seamless user experience.
• Consolidation and acquisition: As traditional property firms and private equity buyers seek to acquire innovative Proptech platforms to boost their own digital capabilities, we expect to see Proptech companies with defensible IP, strong recurring revenues and scalable business models become increasingly attractive in the M&A sector.

As we progress through 2025, the Proptech sector continues to attract strong interest from investors, underlining its growing role in shaping the future of property.
