Our Vision

We believe there has to be a better way

We all love to browse out-of-reach homes, but deciding what home to rent or buy is pretty stressful. There's too many considerations to weigh, viewings to book, and obscure tasks to do. The system is rigged against us.

Mappa was founded to rebuild the journey – to hand back knowledge and control to you while you make one of biggest decisions of your life!

Mappa's three founders, James, Bayo, and Tobi.

A buying agent for all

Mappa combines huge datasets, clever AI-powered algorithms and our own personal touch to recommend the best homes in the best neighbourhoods that meet your needs and lifestyle preferences; unique to you!

Think 'Kirstie and Phil' plus Martin Lewis in your pocket, Mappa removes the stress of finding and buying the right home on the right street.

The Team

CEO & Co-Founder

A few years ago, while trying to buy my home, I felt completely in the dark. I couldn’t make a confident, informed decision and had to navigate a complex process alone, without real support or a soundboard. In hindsight, I didn’t feel like it was truly 'my decision'. Over time, I realised many others face similar challenges in their buying and rental journeys. This led me to found Mappa.

CTO & Co-Founder

Having lived with insecure housing while in foster care, I have experienced all too well what it's like not having a place to call home.

At Mappa, I aim to increase access to homeownership and help put a roof over everyone's head.
