Entrepreneur and Dragon’s Den star James Caan has become chairman of property portal look4aproperty.
Through Hamilton Bradshaw – the private equity arm of his business – Caan has secured a 25% stake in the site, which was founded by Aaron Turner in 2004. It was not disclosed what the 25% stake was valued at.
Caan and Turner say they now plan to announce a series of new products to kick-start the UK housing market and help it to grow in the New Year.
Caan said of Turner: “I am delighted to be working with him. I invest in people. Aaron has the type of drive, determination and business acumen this country and the property market needs.”
