EasyProperty, the latest venture from easyJet founder Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou, is attempting to take on established estate agents with a £5m campaign.

The budget equates to just over half of easyProperty’s total funding. The company has raised £9.75m to date from private investment and a successful crowdfunding campaign.

The new campaign will focus on price, highlighting easyProperty’s unbundled model and comparing its cheaper services against those offered by traditional high street agents.

The company was set up in September with an eye to applying the “easy” model to the property market.

The site enables landlords to advertise their properties on the cheap across property portals, and also offers photography, tenancy agreements, viewings and other services at a low price.

Chris Welch, easyProperty’s chief marketing officer, said: “With more and more private landlords entering the market and even more consumers searching for property online, the need for a traditional high street shop and associated high overheads and fees is becoming less relevant.
