Nurtur and BroadbandUK Launch New Availability Checker for Property Listings

Proptech solutions provider Nurtur and comparison service developer BroadbandUK have just become the latest to offer UK property listing providers (Estate Agents etc.) another address-level option for enabling house hunters to see what kind of broadband connectivity and speeds are available to the houses they’re considering.

The service is designed to help fill a critical gap where accurate connectivity information has sometimes been missing from some estate agent listings and websites, despite broadband now being considered the “fourth utility.” A number of commercial comparison services already offer similar tools for integration with Estate Agents platforms (e.g. RightMove has long shown such details), and this is the latest to join that list.

The service is said to cover virtually all UK residential properties and is free to Nurtur’s customers (about 50 of their 1,000 or so estate agent clients are understood to have already piloted it). The platform claims to provide “comprehensive broadband intelligence” including speeds, available ISPs, and technology types for each individual property, although it’s unclear how many altnets are covered by their database.

Richard Combellack, Chief Commercial Officer at Nurtur, said:

“We are thrilled to partner with BroadbandUK to provide a comprehensive solution that not only enhances our clients’ websites but also ensures compliance with the latest regulations. The integration of BroadbandUK’s service into our platform will offer our clients a seamless way to display vital broadband information on property listings, meeting the growing demands of the property sector.”

Saveen Rajan, CEO of BroadbandUK, said:

“This partnership builds on years of research and development to bring address-level precision to the property market. We’re delighted to be working with Nurtur to provide clarity around connectivity, as broadband has become a fundamental part of everyday life. This gives buyers and renters the confidence to make informed decisions before they commit.”

The move comes shortly after the UK government began consulting on new proposals aimed at speeding up the process of home buying and selling, while also improving the material information that Estate Agents are required to provide for every transaction. The availability of broadband, as well as mobile signal and coverage, are some of the data points proposed for inclusion in future guidance (here).

Otherwise, Nurtur are said to be planning a broader rollout of the new feature across their client base throughout the rest of 2025.
