PropEco Ltd, established in 2020 by founder Christopher Browne, operates as a specialized data and analytics provider for the UK property market, with a distinct focus on climate and environmental risks. The company equips property professionals—including lenders, surveyors, and insurers—with granular data to assess the potential impact of climate change on real estate assets. Browne's background in both the Royal Air Force and property development provided the impetus for the venture, recognizing a critical gap in the market for forward-looking, property-specific environmental data.
The core of PropEco's offering is a comprehensive data platform that aggregates and analyzes over 250 datasets, encompassing information on climate, environmental, and social factors. This platform delivers property-level risk analysis, covering hazards such as flooding, subsidence, and coastal erosion, while also providing insights into energy performance certificate (EPC) ratings and local amenities. The business model is structured around a B2B subscription service, offering access to its data via an API. This allows clients to integrate PropEco's insights directly into their existing workflows and decision-making processes, thereby enhancing risk management and identifying opportunities for sustainable property investment.
Significant milestones for the company include securing a pre-seed funding round in 2021, which enabled the initial development and launch of its platform. A subsequent seed funding round of £650,000 in early 2023, led by Delta-v and including several angel investors, has been allocated to expanding the team and further enhancing the product's capabilities. This strategic investment underscores the growing demand within the property and financial sectors for sophisticated tools to navigate the complexities of climate-related financial disclosures and long-term asset resilience.
