In this episode, Toby Wilde and Anna Clare Harper discuss the common myths around how and whether proptech can solve housing market problems. Toby shared his controversial opinions on the major issues in the industry including the greenbelt, Airbnb and P2P lending.

What problems can proptech (and specifically, algorithms) really solve in the UK property market, and how?
How data can really be used to optimise where to build and what is built, from a developer and investor perspective
What data reveals about a collapse in studio and 1 bed values, due to Covid-led limits on the airbnb ‘dark economy’
The idea of a ‘barcode for every house’ and how tech can reduce inefficiencies in the housing market
