A typical multiple of 7× EBITDA reflects profitable property technology software businesses with recurring subscription revenue in the $1M–$50M revenue range.

Overview

PropTech software businesses typically sell for 4×–11× EBITDA, with a typical multiple around 7×. Valuations are driven by recurring subscription revenue, customer retention, software differentiation and the scalability of the platform. Businesses providing essential property management, facilities management or real estate workflow software may achieve higher multiples where switching costs are substantial. Regulatory tailwinds around energy performance and building safety, and API integration into agency and surveyor workflows, further support valuations. Transaction-dependent platforms and businesses exposed to property market cycles generally attract lower valuations than established subscription-based software providers.

Key Value Drivers

  • High proportion of recurring SaaS subscription revenue
  • Strong customer retention and low revenue churn
  • Deep integration into property management workflows
  • Regulatory tailwinds (energy performance, building safety)
  • Scalable technology with attractive incremental margins
  • Diversified customer base across landlords, agents and property managers

Key Risks

  • Exposure to downturns in property transactions and investment
  • Competition from established property software platforms and portals
  • High ongoing software development and cybersecurity costs
  • Slow adoption in the traditionally conservative property sector
  • Customer concentration in SME agency market
  • Technology obsolescence and integration challenges
