London, UK - April 14, 2025: Homemove, a London-based PropTech company aiming to digitise and simplify the home-moving experience, has successfully raised $5M in a funding round led by Fuel Ventures, with participation from the Blandford Family and Oxford Innovation. This investment underscores the growing confidence in Homemove’s mission to transform one of life’s most stressful experiences, moving house, through a digital, all-in-one solution.
Founded by James Freestone and Louis O’Connell-Bristow, Homemove offers a centralized platform that integrates multiple services, including estate agents, mortgages, surveys, conveyancing, and removals. The platform provides users with a unified interface to coordinate all aspects of their move, delivering real-time updates from the selection of an estate agent to the finalization of removal logistics. This all-in-one model aims to reduce costly delays, enhance communication between parties, and empower consumers with greater control over the process.
With the newly secured capital, Homemove plans to accelerate its national expansion across the UK, enhance product development, and strengthen brand recognition. The company intends to deepen its capabilities in its five core verticals—estate agents, mortgages, surveys, conveyancing, and removals—while continuing to invest in product innovation and automation. This strategic focus positions Homemove to establish itself as a leading digital destination for homeowners seeking a seamless moving experience.
James Freestone, co-founder and CEO of Homemove, expressed enthusiasm about the funding, stating, “We’re incredibly excited by the support from Fuel Ventures and our additional investors. This investment empowers us not only to scale our platform but also to continue making the home-moving experience simpler, less stressful, and more joyful for our customers. Our goal is to help homeowners move with greater ease and confidence, knowing everything they need is seamlessly managed in one friendly, easy-to-use place. Homemove truly is the home of moving home.”
Mark Pearson, Managing Partner of Fuel Ventures, highlighted the company’s potential, stated, “Homemove is exactly the type of disruptive business we love to support – one that's clearly addressing real-world inefficiencies with robust technology solutions. The company’s exceptional growth from zero to $4 million revenue in such a short time highlights its immense potential. Having backed Homemove since their first SEIS round in 2022, we’re thrilled to lead this round and excited about Homemove’s future.”
This funding marks a significant step for Homemove as it seeks to unify a fragmented industry, bringing together diverse services into a cohesive digital ecosystem. As the platform expands, it is poised to redefine the home-moving landscape, offering a comprehensive solution tailored to the needs of modern homeowners.
