Exploring Technology in Residential Property Markets

CAHF is interested in the emergence of PropTech as an important dimension of the affordable housing sector.  Across the continent, PropTech companies are shifting and simplifying how we buy, sell, and manage properties.  Many of these companies are still in their start-up phase, working towards the application of technology in favour of some change in along the housing value chain.  All are looking for capital to support their growth.  Their increasing prominence notwithstanding, there remains limited awareness and information regarding the detail of their operations, the problems they solve and the opportunities they offer.

This project represents CAHF’s  first step in exploring the current and potential role of property technology across the housing value chain. The aim of this project is to explore and develop the role of PropTech related avenues in strengthening the housing value chain, especially with respect to affordable housing.

CAHF has conducted a series of interviews with PropTech companies. Please let us know if you’d like us to profile your PropTech company – we look forward to the interview.  Please contact david@housingfinanceafrica.org for more information.
