Proptech start-up Urban Collective has launched a scheme it claims will revolutionise the rental sector by providing experts with local knowledge to help people find their perfect home. The service, which begins with the assignment of an expert, or "Sherpa", to develop a property and lifestyle profile for the client, costs between £600 ($776) and £900, depending on the size of the desired property. Sherpas can also carry out pre-arranged viewings. The sooner they are able to find a property in their new city, the less time and money spent on hotels/other accommodation.” "We are looking at how we could use technology in this way as well," says co-founder David McMahon.
