Indian proptech HouseEazy raises $17M in Series B

HouseEazy, the India-based proptech that operates a platform that facilitates buying and selling pre-owned apartments without intermediaries and commissioned agents, has raised INR 150 crore $16.9m in Series B funding in a round led by Accel.

Additional participation came from Chiratae Ventures, Antler, and several undisclosed investors.

The capital will be used to expand into new urban markets, enhance the company’s technology stack, and increase brand visibility. Planned expansion markets include Pune, Mumbai, and Bengaluru.

Tarun Sainani, cofounder of HouseEazy, said:

“In just three years, we’ve helped over 2,500 homeowners transact properties worth more than INR 2,000 Cr ($225M) Our GMV ARR has doubled YoY to reach INR 850 Cr ($95.7M) with strong unit economics. With this new funding, we’re ready to expand HouseEazy into new cities and unlock adjacent business lines.”

Founded in 2021 by Sainani and Deepak Bhatia, HouseEazy operates a resale-focused real estate platform for pre-owned residential apartments. It currently serves Noida, Ghaziabad, and Gurgaon, targeting middle-income buyers and sellers who seek transaction transparency and speed. The company positions itself as a replacement for traditional brokerage models, offering a commission-free model with no fixed charges for buyers or sellers.

Key features of the platform include instant deal closures, legal due diligence, reduced paperwork, and algorithmic pricing derived from registry data and historical transactions. These features are intended to compress transaction timelines and lower friction for resale inventory.

HouseEazy reported a small net profit of INR 38 lakh ($45k) for FY24, reversing a loss of INR 44 lakh ($53k) in FY23.

Apimo team launches Monaco-focused portal

Apimo, the CRM and website provider for real estate businesses, has collaborated on the launch of a new portal in Monaco.

Supported by the Apimo team, Livein.mc is a premium real estate and lifestyle platform for Monaco and the Côte d’Azur, combining listing services with editorial content to differentiate from traditional property portals.

The portal offers a transactional interface for buyers, tenants, and agencies across sales, rentals, holiday lettings, and agency listings. Beyond a simple search engine, the site offers a more human approach, combining real estate information and discovering the art of living around the property.

Julie Bertany, Operations Director at livein.mc, said:

"Buying an apartment or a house isn't just about keeping a budget in mind; it's also about choosing an environment, a view, and a neighborhood lifestyle that suits you. In Monaco's Carré d'Or, the heart of luxury shopping and nightlife, there's a real neighborhood atmosphere, between strolls amidst the greenery and coworking spaces. In the La Rousse area too, people take their kids to school, have a coffee in the morning, and do their workout right outside their door."

The company's ambition is to move beyond standard aggregation of listings and into a space where properties are presented in context—geographic, cultural, and aesthetic. Listings are embedded within broader narratives, including articles, guides, and lifestyle content that position property within its lived environment. This includes reference to neighbourhood character, proximity to natural or cultural landmarks, and local amenities.

The business uses storytelling, news features, and immersive content to enhance user engagement; has a fully-fledged technological infrastructure including CRM and extranet tools, video integrations, and API-based distribution; a local concentration solely focused on Monaco and the surrounding Côte d’Azur region; and lifestyle framing including content about architecture, design, and regional culture.

Channel 4 Invests in Homebuying Platform, OneDome

OneDome has announced a £7.5 million media-for-equity partnership with Channel 4 Ventures, the investment arm of Channel 4. The agreement includes an initial £5 million commitment, with a further £2.5 million contingent on performance targets.

The investment will fund a national TV campaign in 2026 promoting OneDome’s HomeBuyer Service, a fixed-price package combining mortgage advice, conveyancing, and transaction management through its digital platform.

To meet anticipated demand from the campaign, OneDome plans to expand its adviser network, recruiting up to 500 self-employed brokers and advisory firms. Brokers will operate under the OneDome brand or use the endorsement “Powered by OneDome,” with the HomeBuyer Service offered exclusively through members of the OneDome Growth Partners network.

The company is also launching OneDome Remo, a new fixed-price remortgage service bundling advice and conveyancing, designed to simplify the refinancing process.

“We’re entering a new era for home-buying and remortgage services,” said Babek Ismayil, OneDome founder and CEO. “Consumers no longer want to juggle multiple providers — they want a simple, convenient, end-to-end experience. Our upcoming national campaign will raise awareness of the HomeBuyer Service and drive unprecedented demand.”

Vinay Solanki, head of Channel 4 Ventures, said: “OneDome is tackling one of the toughest and most important consumer challenges — making the home-buying journey simpler, faster and more transparent. We believe it has the potential to transform how people approach one of life’s biggest financial decisions.”
