    Where the business was

    A property lettings software startup had built its first product quickly to get to market. Two years in, the codebase was difficult to extend, landlords found the search and filtering frustrating, and a planned automated valuation feature had been blocked for six months because the architecture could not support it. New features were taking twice as long as they should, and competitors with cleaner platforms were winning deals the startup wanted.

    What needed to change

    Technical debt had slowed new feature development. The platform was live with paying customers, so the startup needed a rebuild that kept existing users working while the new foundation was built.

    The work · Application development

    The work we delivered

    We ran discovery and an architecture review in week one, then delivered a phased rebuild on React and Node.js while the existing platform remained in use. The new build included improved search and filtering, a streamlined landlord onboarding flow and an automated valuation tool built on publicly available pricing data.

    What changed

    The new platform launched 14 weeks after the work began, with no downtime for existing users. Feature release cycles shortened from six to eight weeks to under two, and the automated valuation feature was live at launch. Within 30 days of launch, the team closed three new agency accounts.
