This week, Flavilla is joined by Matt Gilpin.

Matt Gilpin founded Sprift (which stands for: ‘Smarter Property Information Technology’) in 2016, following the frustration of being unable to easily source the property data he required for his buy-to-let portfolio. He is driven by a desire to improve the quality of data available, and to create a smoother home buying and selling process.

Following his first property investment in 1999, Matt bought and sold many properties in the years that followed. For each investment he would spend hours collating property information and data from a variety of sources. Although not from a tech background, he was sure there must be a way of aggregating all data and presenting it in one place, hence the idea for Sprift was born. It was also apparent to Matt at this time, that this would also be an issue for the wider house-buying public.
