OneDome Secures $25 Million to Revolutionize UK Home Buying
London-based proptech OneDome has announced a $25 million (£18.2 million) fundraising round to accelerate the development of its platform and increase transparency in the British real estate market.
Addressing Frustration in the UK Property Market
OneDome was founded by Babek Ismayil after a personal experience highlighted the complexities and frustrations of buying a home in London. After months of searching, Ismayil discovered on the day of exchange that another buyer had acquired his desired property, resulting in lost time, and expenses. This experience, shared by over 400,000 UK homebuyers annually who lose an average of £2,700 due to failed transactions, spurred the creation of OneDome.
OneDome’s Integrated Platform
OneDome aims to simplify the home buying process by centralizing information and streamlining transactions. Its HomeBuyer service combines mortgage advice, conveyancing, and transaction management for a flat fee of £999.
Growth and Expansion
OneDome’s business model has demonstrated consistent growth. The company raised $4 million in 2017 and, more recently, acquired online mortgage broker Trussle in 2025. The company was also recognized as the 6th fastest-growing tech company in the UK by the Sunday Times.
Profitability and Future Goals
As of February 2026, OneDome reports being profitable and aims to triple its turnover by the end of the year. With approximately $1.4 billion in mortgage loans facilitated monthly through the platform, OneDome is positioned to achieve its goal of being involved in 10% of real estate transactions in the UK within five years.
Leadership
Babek Ismayil is the Founder & CEO of OneDome and also serves as a Managing Partner at Bi Capital. He is a British national residing in London, England.
