The UK PropTech Awards is back for it’s 8th edition!
The UK PropTech Awards is an event dedicated to celebrating those who are leading the way towards a more sustainable, digitally enabled and customer centric future for the Property industry. The awards are a chance to highlight the companies and individuals who are driving real change across the Real Estate sector, solving critical problems and showcase how their innovative approaches or technology solutions are making a significant impact.
This year, we’re thrilled to introduce a fresh lineup of awards recognising both PropTech companies and property organisations, including new categories like “Housing Delivery Innovation”, ”Collaborative Business Transformation” and “Emerging PropTech of the Year”. Reflecting the industry’s growing emphasis on cross-sector collaboration, several awards are now open to joint applications between PropTech providers and property businesses – such as “Connected Place”, “Intelligent Asset Management” and “ESG Collaboration.”
Whether your business is scaling at pace, transforming operations through data, or pioneering more inclusive and sustainable practices, we invite you to showcase your achievements.
Applications are now open and the deadline to apply is 3rd October, 2025!

Partnership
We are pleased to announce that the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG) is joining us as a partner for this year’s UK PropTech Awards!
Their involvement marks an important step in strengthening the event’s relevance and impact, enabling us to engage a wider audience across the housing, planning, and property sectors.
As a central body in shaping housing policy, driving planning reform, and supporting thriving communities, MHCLG brings essential expertise and influence to the table. With their support, we can advance the conversation around innovation in PropTech, encourage collaboration between government and industry, and highlight the role of technology in delivering better homes, places, and services. This partnership also connects us with their extensive networks, ensuring that more policymakers, industry leaders, and innovators are involved, further raising the profile and impact of the awards.
Their support not only strengthens our event but also reflects the growing importance of PropTech in shaping the future of housing and the built environment. Together, we look forward to championing forward-thinking solutions that deliver lasting benefits for people, places, and communities.
