Sibling businessmen Jonathan and Matthew Daines are to create 15 new jobs at the Warwickshire-based PropTech platform Lettingaproperty over the next 18 months. 

This follows an investment injection of £750,000.

The jobs will be in marketing, IT and development; the platform says it’s scaling its onboarding and support teams to handle increased customer enquiries ahead of additional fund-raising next year. 

“Our ambitious vision started back in 2008 and is gathering real momentum, supported by this investment plus key board appointments. We are excited about our future growth potential and the opportunity to disrupt the traditional high street lettings model. We aim to make renting out your property long-term as easy as filling your holiday let on Airbnb, and become the go-to choice when renting out property” says chief executive Jonathan Daines. 

The platform claims it’s on course to reach £1.6m revenue in the current year, with the company now managing nearly 1,500 rental properties across England, Scotland and Wales. 

Last month it was announced that the former finance director of Purplebricks, Matthew Farrow, was to be Lettingaproperty’s interim finance director.
