Bricks&Logic are capturing property information and creating a story for better completion rates

Michael Joyner, Chief Data Scientist, at Bricks&Logic explains, in the ever-evolving world of property, why staying ahead of the competition is crucial for estate agents, and why iterations of established services really can make a difference. The following article is Michaels comprehensive thoughts first published earlier this year, which pinpoints in his view exactly how forward thinking agents can gain more market share.

‘As technology continues to reshape the industry, agents are constantly on the lookout for innovative tools that can streamline operations and attract potential clients. One such tool that has gained significant traction in recent years is the instant valuation feature on agent websites. While this tool initially delivered promising results by generating high-quality leads, its effectiveness has started to decline due to poor quality valuations and a lacklustre user experience. Agents and clients alike have grown wary of its shortcomings, leading to a loss of trust and missed opportunities.

Novyy Rooms completes the acquisition of 50-student rooms in Coventry as a part of their Student Housing investment strategy.

Press Release Novyy, a unique fractional ownership platform focusing on the British buy-to-let market, has recently achieved a significant milestone in its investment strategy by acquiring 50 student rooms in Coventry. This strategic decision marks a pivotal moment for Novyy as it ventures into the lucrative student housing sector. Recognizing the immense potential and growing demand in the student housing market, Novyy has strategically diversified its investment portfolio to include this promising sector.

According to the founder and CEO of Novyy, Ashish Saraff, “there has been a significant increase in the demand for student housing in recent years. This surge can be attributed to the rising number of students in the country as well as their growing inclination towards seeking complete university experience, particularly after being indoors during the COVID-19 pandemic”.

Students are actively seeking alternative housing options off-campus due to growing financial constraints and rising living costs. As a result, there is a surging demand for private rental solutions, such as Houses in Multiple Occupations (HMOs),” he added.
