Nice writeup, wish more startups who didn't succeed did this though understand not easy thing to write so kudos.

One factor to success is timing, as someone who lives in UK around London and is seeing (slowly) greenbelt getting developed on perhaps the market might be moving towards you in the next 5 years.

Thanks for writing this!

Isn't the real problem that supply is artificially constrained because house prices and the economy are interlinked in a way in a special way in the UK economy, such that the majority of home owners don't want it changed (because more supply == downward pricing pressure)

I think the only entity that could meaningfully change this situation is government, and well it's easier to not upset your donors.

A good question to ask before starting a startup is : "Do I see myself working 10 years on this problem?". Looks like they ran out of steam, rather than out of runway.
