.@Locatable launch ‘The Housemates’ Guide to Happiness’
Locatable, the London-based property technology start-up that wants to be the dashboard for your home, has released a fill-in-the-gaps guide to shared house harmony.
The guide, available as a PDF download from Locatable.com, is a comprehensive to-do list for managing household expenses and important ‘what to do if’ information.
Started in 2012 by Vasanth Subramanian and other now-departed co-founders, Locatable began as a data-driven property map search tool.
Since then the startup has picked up Nick Katz as CEO, Paddy Allen as COO and is changing course from challenger property portal to “a digital toolbox for people and their homes.”
Nick, who found his way to Locatable via the world of commercial real estate, says, “The convergence of property, technology, data and the desire to bring transparency and simple tools to help consumers is where Locatable was born and will continue to evolve and grow.”
He hints at the start-up’s future by explaining: “Our next tool is focused squarely on helping renters in shared accommodation split bills.”
As a first step, this Housemates’ Happiness guide helps Locatable test on paper what they will digitise in the future.
The PDF asks a number of questions that establish a base for the household to make decisions on the back of.
It is envisaged that everything paid for in the home could be automated through Locatable’s upcoming tools, with the guide essentially becoming an app in itself.
The hope with releasing this guide for people sharing a home is to “help consumers make better property related decisions and lead happier lives at home.
By getting to those consumers at the earliest stage of their property journey with our suite of tools, we hope to support their journey through property over time” says Nick Katz.
The company was previously incubated at the Open Data Institute in Shoreditch, which was founded by Sir Tim Berners-Lee and Sir Nigel Shadbolt.
Locatable are also participating in the NESTA-funded Housing Open-Data Challenge (http://www.nesta.org.uk/housing-open-data-challenge).

Simply put, Dad is expert advice without needing a call out (just a call in…).
Founded by the exceptionally stylish, authoritative and generous (he paid for lunch) Ben Wynn, Dad was launched on the premise that fixing things around the home is a massive market with plenty of fear and friction.

I’m about to invest in a property tech company.
Before making this decision, I thought carefully about who else I would want to invest in.
Those companies are detailed below. I thought it important to include how much I would invest, and why.

I just can’t get over how simple, yet life-change-ing-ly useful the Splittable app is. It basically is how all accounting of money should be everywhere. Simple and plain to understand.

In this exclusive interview, we tease out Ed’s thoughts on London, his business and what Lokku is looking to invest in for our Geo-filled future.
It’s probably apt to say that Ed is a hero of mine. While others try to compete and build property portals, Lokku stayed true to their calling with Nestoria and provided a reliable partner to property portals the world over.

Thanks to companies like Seedrs, Equity Crowdsourcing for investments is proving safe and easy to take part in.
And what better place to invest than rental property. Everybody wants to be a landlord. The easy money is just too tempting.

Everyone and their Mother would like to launch a ‘better’ property portal. Many are trying. Even more have failed. None, bar Zoopla, have succeeded in competing with the might of Rightmove.
Yet, FindProperly has caught the imagination of Londoners.
