Year in review: PriceHubble’s 2024 highlights

As 2024 draws to a close, it’s an ideal time to reflect on the year’s significant achievements and milestones. At PriceHubble, we’ve had a dynamic and exciting year, marked by progress in product innovation, a commitment to supporting our clients with the most advanced property performance solutions for the real estate and finance sectors, innovation in AI technologies, exceptional thought leadership, encounters and customer success stories.

Let’s take a moment to look back at our most important accomplishments in the UK and across the globe, and explore the exciting developments we have in store for 2025!

Reinforcing our commitment to enterprise-grade security and compliance

At PriceHubble, we understand that security and compliance are vital for assisting our finance and real estate clients in driving growth and performance. That’s why we’re particularly proud of two major milestones we achieved in 2024. This year, PriceHubble earned the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification across all countries. This globally recognised standard assures our clients that we adhere to the highest standards of information security management.

In addition, we were pleased to announce earlier this year that our desktop valuation solution successfully passed an ISAE 3000 external audit, confirming its compliance with the European Banking Authority (EBA) guidelines for loan origination and monitoring.

These key achievements reflect our unwavering commitment to enterprise-grade security and regulatory compliance, ensuring that our clients can confidently use our solutions.

Celebrating Dataloft and WhenFresh’s full integration into the PriceHubble group

2024 also saw the full integration of Dataloft and WhenFresh into the PriceHubble group. This milestone has allowed us to deliver unmatched value to our UK clients by combining our strengths. Together, we offer:

• Accurate, in-depth property valuations and insights
• Over 200 best-in-class proprietary, private, and public residential property datasets, including key ESG and climate-related data, designed for mortgage lenders, insurers, and local authorities
• The UK’s most comprehensive dataset of achieved rents and renter demographics, providing vital insights for investors, developers, and policymakers

By unifying these strengths, we’ve created a comprehensive digital ecosystem that supports clients in confidently navigating the market's complexities, better analysing risks and making informed decisions.

Customer success stories: Leading the way in AI-driven solutions and underwriting optimisation

This year, we were inspired by our clients’ exceptional achievements in building innovative AI-driven solutions and optimising mortgage loan and insurance underwriting processes. Here are two examples:

• Landbay used PriceHubble’s in-depth property insights to accelerate its underwriting process by up to 300%, saving £500 per mortgage application on average.
  
  
• Mitsubishi Estate relied on our technology to power its generative AI property consultant, providing real-time property insights and market trends through an interactive, personalised service.

Award-winning solutions for the finance and real estate industries

2024 has been a year of recognition for PriceHubble, and we’re honoured by the various awards and mentions we’ve received.

We were included in several prestigious lists, such as the WealthTech100, ESGFintech100, and AIFintech100 by FinTech Global. These acknowledgements highlight our substantial impact on the finance and real estate industries and recognise our innovative approach to developing property performance solutions.

At the Kerfuffle Supplier Awards, our Dataloft solution earned top honours, clinching the Gold Award across four categories. We also celebrated Dataloft’s victory in the ESTAS Award for Best Supplier Market Data for the second consecutive year, reinforcing our commitment to providing exceptional solutions for the real estate industry. Additionally, PriceHubble was included in the 2024 Leading European Tech Scaleups (LETS) map, further validating our position as a leader in the field of real estate data and technology.

Research highlights: Key data studies for the UK residential market

Throughout the year, PriceHubble continued to lead the way with impactful research studies, including:

• Who Lives in Build to Rent?: A joint study with the British Property Federation, The Association for Rental Living, and BusinessLDN. This study provided insights into the demographics of renters and benchmarked Build to Rent against the wider private rental sector.
• Rental Affordability Tracker: Published monthly by the UK Office for National Statistics, and regularly featured in the Financial Times.
• Astute Commute: This report analysed changing trends in commuter patterns, based on the distance between home and workplace for those living in the private rental sector. It was covered in BTR News.
• Health Check: An analysis of affordability in the private rental sector for NHS workers, launched at MIPIM 2024. This report highlighted the critical need for affordable housing in the UK.
• Property Academy Home Moving Trends Survey 2024: This survey, the largest of its kind in the UK, involved over 12,000 buyers, sellers, renters, and landlords to explore their preferences, priorities, and motivations.
  

Thought leadership: Unlocking property data insights in the real estate and finance industries

PriceHubble’s thought leadership continued to shine in 2024. Our leaders shared their insights on key industry topics:

• Mark Cunningham presented keynotes and participated in panels throughout the year, discussing the role of data in unlocking property as a strategic asset and exploring innovative uses of climate risk and property insights.
• Sandra Jones presented at major rental sector events, including MIPIM, UKREiiF, and Bisnow. She is also an active member of the Association for Rental Living's Policy and Research committee and was on the Board of the UK Single Family Association (which later merged with ARL).
• We also co-hosted a webinar with InsTech, where Mark Cunningham and Julia Middleton discussed the continued impact of cladding in the UK and the role of our data in identifying at-risk buildings.

We had the opportunity to connect with clients and partners at leading events, including MIPIM, EA Masters, MoneyLIVE, the BSA Annual Conference, the Build to Rent Annual Conference, the UK Single Family Rental Summit, the EweMove Conference, and the Belvoir Conference, among many others.
