INVESTMENT RISKS

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. The value of shares and the income from them can go down as well as up as a result of market and currency fluctuations and investors may not get back the amount they originally invested. Investment in unlisted securities is likely to carry more risks than investment in listed securities. An investment in HgT entails risks which are described in the annual report and KID.

Street Group secures a strategic growth investment from Hg, at a valuation of more than £200m, to accelerate its AI-led product vision for UK estate and letting agents

Manchester, UK – 22nd July 2026 – Street Group ("Street"), a leading provider of vertical software and AI to the UK residential property sector, today announced a strategic growth investment from Hg, the leading investor in European and transatlantic software and services businesses, valuing the company at more than £200m.

Founded and led by siblings and co-CEOs Tom and Heather Staff and headquartered in Manchester, Street has built an integrated operating system for estate and letting agents. This spans its core CRM (Street.co.uk), its prospecting and lead-generation platform, Spectre, and a growing suite of AI-native products including Cortex, which allows customers to build and orchestrate their own AI agents.

Today, the business serves thousands of estate and letting agency branches across the UK and has established itself as one of the fastest-growing and most innovative players in UK PropTech.

Tom and Heather remain majority controlling shareholders and will continue to lead the business. Hg will make a strategic growth investment, enabling the founding team to accelerate product innovation, deepen Street's AI capabilities and continue to delight its customers; supporting the company's ambition to become the category-defining software and AI platform for UK estate and letting agents.

Heather and Tom Staff, co-CEOs and co-founders of Street Group, said: "We built Street to fundamentally change how estate and letting agents work, and AI is central to that mission. In Hg we have found a partner who shares our long-term ambition, our product focus, and brings genuine depth of experience and operational expertise in scaling software and AI businesses. This partnership allows us to invest even more in our products, our technology and our people, while staying true to the culture and obsessive customer focus that have defined Street from the start."

Louis Kinsella, Partner, Hg, said: "Street is exactly the kind of business we love to back. It’s a category leader with a technical edge, loved by its customers, and is deeply embedded in their daily workflows. Heather and Tom are an exceptional founding team who have built something rare, combining genuine product innovation with accelerating growth, as the industry moves towards them and away from legacy solutions. We are excited to support the next phase of their journey."

Conor Stewart, Principal, Hg, said: "Tom and Heather have built a fantastic business. The depth and ambition of its AI capabilities and its culture of innovation were clear to see as we got to know the business, and we were deeply impressed by the strength of Street’s technology and product leadership. We see a significant opportunity to build on that foundation, leveraging Hg’s capabilities to help Street accelerate its product development to bring even more value to customers.”

Street Group was previously backed by Manchester-based PXN Group, a venture capital firm known for backing high-growth Northern businesses.

Street Group was advised by Alvarez and Marsal. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
