Growth round led by early-stage venture capital trusts to scale Property Sense’s automation platform across the UK.

Intro
Property Sense, a UK-based residential leasing technology company, announced a £2 million growth round in September 2025. The raise initially targeted £1 million but was extended due to strong investor interest. The round was led by early-stage venture capital trusts, with participation from high-net-worth individuals and public crowdfunding investors. Founded in 2022 and headquartered in Stockport, England, Property Sense is led by CEO Mike Haywood, formerly COO at Urban Bubble. The company provides software tailored to the UK’s Build-to-Rent (BTR) and co-living sectors, addressing inefficiencies in the lease-up process. The new funding will support platform enhancements, additional CRM and PMS integrations, and nationwide expansion across the UK.

What the Company Does
Property Sense offers a SaaS platform that automates and simplifies the lease-up process for residential operators. The system manages communications, documentation, and tenant onboarding from initial inquiry to move-in.

Key features include:

• Automated resident engagement from pre-let to move-in

• Real-time communication between agents, developers, and tenants

• Integration with major CRM and property management systems

• Tools to reduce manual administration and improve lease-up speed

• Scalable workflows for large residential portfolios

The platform is already being used across Build-to-Rent and co-living developments in North West England and Yorkshire, with expansion underway into the Midlands, London, Wales, and Scotland.

Who It’s Best For
Segments:

• Build-to-Rent (BTR) developers and operators

• Co-living and single-family home (SFH) operators

• Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) managers

Use Cases:

• Automating lease-up operations and tenant onboarding

• Enhancing communication between leasing teams and residents

• Supporting large-scale leasing during development phases

Deployment / Fit:
