About this episode:

Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions most people will ever make. Yet despite years of digital innovation, the experience remains fragmented, stressful and surprisingly analogue.

Host Benjamin Ensor is joined by a great panel to explore why homebuying still feels so broken, how technology and AI are reshaping the journey, and what it would take to build a truly customer-centred experience—from first search to long-term home ownership.

This week's guests:

Maria Harris - Chair and advisor of Open Property Data Association 

Daniel O’Connor - Chief Operating Officer of LendInvest

Lucy Wayment - Co-founder of Welleness
