At hntr, we believe buying a home should feel exciting, not overwhelming. Our mission is to make the process smoother, smarter, and less stressful by giving buyers a free tool they need to stay organised, informed, and confident from start to finish.
But we don’t stop there. We believe everyone deserves a place to call home. That’s why 10% of our revenue supports Centrepoint’s initiatives that help rehouse youth experiencing homelessness. By supporting both first-time buyers and those without stable housing, hntr aims to create full-circle impact.
Whether it’s your first step or a fresh start, hntr app is here to help.
Hi! I’m Camilla. When I bought my first home in London, it was exciting but also completely overwhelming. I had a giant Excel sheet just to keep track of which properties I was viewing, which agent they were with, and when each viewing was happening. My phone was full of photos I couldn’t match to the right homes, and I was constantly worried I’d forgotten something important.
That’s really where the idea of hntr began. Surely there has to be a better way to organise it all?
As I kept going, I realised how unprepared I was for the financial side too, the hidden costs, the steps involved, and the confusing order of everything. I created hntr as the tool I wish I had: something that could guide you through each stage, help you stay organised, and take away some of the stress.
If you end up using hntr during your home-buying journey, I’d love to hear how you get on. We're always working on new features, and your feedback helps shape what comes next: camilla@hntrapp.com
