In this first week of February, with the Rubicon now crossed, we
will have to face the concerns about lower yields, drops in land
values and increases in supply chain costs. However, PropTech has
the potential to introduce innovative solutions that will help
companies transition to the new post-Brexit world and enable
quicker transactions.
Aleem Khan, an Associate in DAC Beachcroft's PropTech team
looks at some emerging other trends already shaping Real
Estate.
1. Growing sums but more prudent investments
The number of PropTech companies means there will be some
consolidation as the sector matures. Cautionary tales of over
investment and poor performance mean investors will scrutinise
opportunities and scalability more rigorously before parting with
their cash. This could result in fewer investments this year but
involving larger sums. PropTech companies will need to get
comfortable with greater oversight from their financiers.
