OneDome Secures £18M to Scale Its Integrated Homebuying Platform Across the UK

February 4, 2026

OneDome, a London-based financial and property technology company, has raised £18 million in a funding round that takes its total capital raised to £30 million. The round includes a media-for-equity partnership worth up to £7.5 million with Channel 4 Ventures — initially providing £5 million in media inventory, with a further £2.5 million subject to business milestones — alongside investment from undisclosed family offices based in the UK, Saudi Arabia, the United States, and Australia. The funding will be used to accelerate the platform's national expansion and support OneDome's target of tripling revenues by the end of 2026.

The homebuying process in the UK remains fragmented, stressful, and opaque for most consumers. Buyers typically navigate multiple independent service providers — mortgage brokers, solicitors, surveyors, and estate agents — each operating with different timelines, systems, and incentives. This fragmentation leads to significant delays, miscommunication, and cost overruns on one of the largest financial transactions most people will ever undertake. Despite years of proptech innovation, no single platform has successfully integrated the end-to-end journey into a coherent, retail-style consumer product at meaningful scale.

OneDome's HomeBuyer Service addresses this directly, bundling mortgage advice, conveyancing, and transaction management into a single fixed-price product priced at £999. The platform operates at significant scale, arranging approximately $1.4 billion in mortgage lending per month through a network of over 500 mortgage brokers. OneDome acquired online mortgage broker Trussle — which had previously raised capital from Goldman Sachs — in 2025, further expanding its lending capacity. The company also owns Coreco, CMME, and Nethouseprices.com, positioning it as one of the largest integrated housing and mortgage platforms in Britain. The Channel 4 Ventures partnership will fund a major national TV campaign in 2026 promoting the HomeBuyer Service.

OneDome was founded in 2016 by Babek Ismayil, a former J.P. Morgan executive, and is chaired by Sir Nigel Knowles, a veteran City lawyer. The company has delivered exceptional growth metrics: ranked fourth fastest-growing fintech and seventeenth fastest-growing technology business in the UK by the Deloitte Fast 50 in 2025, based on 1,700% revenue growth between 2021 and 2024. The Sunday Times Tech 100 ranked it sixth fastest-growing technology business, with revenues growing over 4,000% between 2022 and 2025. The company states it is already profitable.

Channel 4 Ventures Head Vinay Solanki described OneDome as tackling one of the toughest consumer challenges in the UK — making homebuying simpler, faster, and more transparent — and noted its potential to transform how people approach one of life's biggest financial decisions. The partnership pairs Channel 4's national broadcast reach with OneDome's integrated platform, giving the company a significant marketing advantage as it pursues its five-year target of participating in one in ten UK property transactions. OneDome is also rolling out OneDome Remo, a new fixed-price product combining remortgage advice and conveyancing for existing homeowners.
