Jitty Reveals $3.8 Million in Investment Funding – TNT

Jitty, the UK’s first AI-powered home-buying agent, has announced a USD$3.8 million seed funding round led by global digital property experts REA Group.

This marks a significant step forward for the London-based startup as it expands across the UK. In addition to REA Group, whose portfolio includes property platforms such as realestate.com.au, Housing.com and Realtor.com, other investors in the round include Goodwater Ventures and angels Joe Cross and Lenny Picardo, with participation from existing backers Gradient Ventures (Google’s AI-focused venture fund), and True Global.

The app has already helped facilitate over 250,000 property searches and has signed up the likes of Nested, Meyers, Boardwalk and Keller Williams Scotland. International expansion is also on the roadmap, following the continued traction across the UK.

Built by former Deliveroo, Wise, Zego and Nested product leaders, Jitty uses cutting-edge AI, such as large-language models (LLMs), computer vision, and natural language search, to offer homebuyers an image-first experience that also empowers buyers to shortlist, annotate, and share properties with loved ones, replacing spreadsheets and messaging apps with a collaborative space tailored for property decision-making.

Graham Paterson, CEO and co-founder of Jitty, commented: “This investment marks a huge moment for Jitty. We’ve seen fantastic growth since launch, and this funding lets us accelerate our rollout, expand our partnerships, and double down on our mission to build the future home-buying experience. We’re thrilled to welcome REA Group as partners – their global expertise and commitment to innovation will be invaluable as we scale.”

Melina Cruickshank, chief product & audience officer at REA Group, added: “We believe the next frontier in property discovery is highly immersive, helping buyers visualise a home as if they’re physically there. Jitty’s pace of growth in redefining traditional property discovery via computer imagery in a short time is impressive. We’re very pleased to support Graham and the Jitty team and are excited to see what they do next.”
