Big Investment for MoveStreets 'Swipe to Like' Property App

December 13, 2021

British property portal app MoveStreets has announced a £5 million (US$6.06 million) technology investment from its co-founder.

Adam Kamani, who is also co-founder of fashion website PrettyLittleThing, has named Apadmi as MoveStreets’ development partner

MoveStreets is a 'swipe right to like' app which, the company claimed, has already matched more than 70,000 people with a property to buy or to let.

Kamani has pledged a £5m technology investment and selected fellow Manchester-based company Apadmi as MoveStreets’ development partner. It will focus on iOS and Android app development.

Joining Chief Executive Officer Kamani will be Craig Burton as Chief Operating Officer and Mahesh Patel as Chief Financial Officer.

Mr Burton has led operations and technology divisions from start-ups through to global organisations for more than 25 years.

He said: "The MoveStreets app is improving the way that homebuyers and renters search for property – it’s simple, it’s easy and it’s fun.”

"We came to market with the first 'swipe right' property app, but the potential to grow, disrupt and add more and more new features provides even greater opportunity to be truly innovative. Of course, this is not something that traditional property portals are exactly renowned for.

"We are impressed with Apadmi’s digital product credentials, their impressive client portfolio and clear passion for mobile technology. And it was a bonus to find a Manchester-based partner that aligns with our own values of quality and speed."

Garry Partington, Chief Executive Officer, said that his compay  is delighted to be partnering with MoveStreets to create digital products that truly innovate.

"MoveStreets is the perfect example of a company that is empowering users and appealing to a new generation of house hunters to make searching for property fun and fast, and we are truly excited to be partnering with them," he added.
