Property investment platform GetGround expects to return to M&A market in 2027 – CEO
GetGround, a UK-based digital property-investment platform, expects to return to the M&A arena from early 2027 to expand its offering, founder and CEO Moubin Faizullah-Khan said.
The management team at GetGround, which expects to generate run-rate revenues of approximately USD 50m in 2026, is alert to acquisition opportunities, Faizullah-Khan said. However, its current focus is on integrating BuyAssociation, a UK-based domestic property investment distribution and media group it bought in December, he said.
BuyAssociation is the company’s first acquisition, so management plans to take its time over the next several months to ensure all matters are completed before embarking on its next deal, he added.
GetGround is interested in targets that expand its distribution, product set or brand, he said. When reviewing potential targets, it will primarily assess factors including a candidate’s operations and strategic fit into its processes, rather than its size, he added.
All deals will have to benefit GetGround’s business strategy, which focuses on making residential property investment accessible and transparent to all, Faizullah-Khan said. The global property market is worth USD 326tn, according to GetGround’s website.
The company is interested in further UK acquisitions, or deals in international markets such as the US, Faizullah-Khan said. Although it prefers to talk to businesses with which it already has a relationship, as in the BuyAssociation deal, its management is interested in hearing from deal brokers and vendors, he added.
Faizullah-Khan also spends his time looking for potential candidates, he said.
A target’s size will determine how deal payments will be satisfied, he said, declining to elaborate. GetGround will decide how to manage due diligence matters on a case-by-case basis, he said, adding that various members of its management team, including Faizullah-Khan, have previous M&A experience.
Separately, GetGround has a working relationship with CMS Law, he added.
Faizullah-Khan worked at private equity firm Apax Partners before founding GetGround, per the company’s website.
He founded GetGround in 2018, and the company began trading in 2020, he said. The focus is on building GetGround over the next several years before reviewing strategic options, he said.
For the year ending December 2024, GetGround had an average staff count of 89, according to Companies House data. It announced the BuyAssociation acquisition in December 2025, after the companies has collaborated for years, and merged “to strengthen developer partnerships, make it easier for investors to access quality property opportunities, and improve the experience for the 30,000+ investors who use GetGround,” the deal announcement adds.
For the year ending March 2025, BuyAssociation had an average employee count of 18, according to separate Companies House data. Earlier this month, the business was named in the Financial Times FT1000 list of Europe’s fastest-growing companies for the third successive year, according to its website.
