UK-based PropTech startup Jitty has raised a £3.8m seed round to advance its mission of making home-buying simpler and more transparent. The funding was led by REA Group, the company behind realestate.com.au, with participation from Gradient Ventures (Google’s AI fund), Goodwater Ventures, True Global, and several angel investors.
Since launch, Jitty has powered over 250,000 property searches and partnered with agents including Nested, Meyers, Boardwalk and Keller Williams Scotland. Unlike traditional property portals, Jitty does not charge agents to list, ensuring a fairer ranking system that prioritises relevance over pay-to-play visibility.
Jitty’s platform allows buyers to search in natural language – for example, ‘45-minute commute from Liverpool St’ or ‘big garden’ – while also offering collaborative tools for shortlisting, annotating and comparing homes.
“This investment marks a huge moment for Jitty. We’ve seen fantastic growth since launch, and now we can double down on building the home-buying experience we all wish we’d had. REA Group’s expertise and backing will be invaluable as we scale.”
Graham, Co-founder and CEO, Jitty
The fresh capital will support three key priorities: expanding home listings across the UK, rolling out new tools that give buyers greater clarity and confidence, and strengthening collaborations with estate agents to deliver richer data. International expansion is also under consideration.
With its latest backing, Jitty aims to position itself as a challenger to legacy property portals by offering a smarter, more transparent alternative for both buyers and agents.
