A new UK networking platform for property professionals has been launched by two brothers who have several years experience working in the estate agency sector in the West Midlands.
The UK Homes Network is the brainchild of Chris Tremlett, who began developing the project after he was made redundant from his previous role. He is now joined by his brother, David. They both have an estate agency background.
The new app allows users to connect directly with developers, investors, agents, landlords and other industry experts.
Chris Tremlett said: “UK Homes Network will enable users to supercharge their own networks, explore limitless opportunities and stay ahead of industry trends—all in one space.
“It will enable us to create a collective voice to effect meaningful change with policymakers. It is the first and only platform of its type available in the UK.”
UK Homes Network is a web-based and mobile-based app where people can find and talk to others working in any aspect of the industry across the whole of the UK.
“I started developing it last year. I wanted to modernise and streamline the networking process and make it easier for people to not only develop their personal brands but make it easier for them to reach out directly to other professionals – that’s what UK Homes Network is all about,” said Chris. “We want to encompass everyone in the property industry and be as inclusive as possible.”
He believes there’s a demonstrable need for UK Homes Network because other social media platforms, like LinkedIn, attract often unwelcome advertisers like recruiters and website developers which interrupt the flow of communication.
“Ours is a subscription model at a similar price to Spotify or Netflix – so there’ll be a standard tier for individuals at £12.99 per month, an influencer tier for people wanting to share content like podcasts and videos and there’ll be an industry tier for larger businesses where they’ll have access to more streaming services and be able to share courses and events. They’ll also be able to show sponsored content for monetisation,” he said.
“Additionally, there’s a space within the App where members can share commercial information like land deals and property investment opportunities.
“Because we’re using a subscription model, those users who express an interest are actively motivated to see those posts because they want to do business.
“There’s no spam and no algorithms – if you want to post it will be seen by the right people because everyone on the platform is a property professional looking for opportunities or sharing knowledge and experience.”
Another game changer?

As a developer I can see no need for this at all
How many land owners will sign up to this
How many land agents will sign up to this
How many estate agents will sign up to this
There are about 10 new apps a week that I could sign up for
I would go bankrupt if I signed up for all the disruptors and game changers

I must admit, this story grabbed my attention, but as soon as I saw £12.99 a month, I switched off….
I don’t see you getting enough ‘networkers’ at £150+ annually, when you can network for free across a number of other sites/apps for free. Whilst I appreciate the no spam or algorithms price point, is that enough to part people with their money??

Some great points there!
We have carefully chose our pricing to reflect fairness and value for money.
Most networking groups charge from £20 per month. LinkedIn premium is £400 for the year.
But thank you for your constructive feedback.

Agreed, but there are options at no cost and linkedin is free without premium, although with restrictions.
I would’ve thought it would be a better option to allow a free sign up for the first 3 or 6 months and then a paid option after, just to get footfall.
Just my thoughts
