Growth opportunity in lead generation, PPC and SEO within the home mover market

Through recent activity, Acqsoft has gained increased exposure to lead generation, PPC and SEO businesses serving the home mover market, reinforcing our conviction in the long-term growth opportunity across this segment of the property and legal services ecosystem.

The home mover market remains structurally attractive. Despite cyclical transaction volumes, demand for high-intent, time-critical customer acquisition persists across estate agents, conveyancers, mortgage advisers and related service providers. As these businesses compete for fewer but higher-value instructions, performance-led digital marketing channels, where ROI can be measured and optimised, have become essential rather than discretionary.

Our exposure has highlighted several favourable dynamics. Increasing complexity across advertising platforms, data privacy, and consent frameworks is raising barriers to entry, benefiting scaled operators with compliant technology, proprietary data and established distribution. At the same time, advances in automation, attribution and conversion optimisation are improving efficiency and predictability for well-run platforms. Market fragmentation further supports opportunities for consolidation and value creation through operational and technology enhancement.

Crucially, sustainability in this market is driven by quality rather than volume. High-intent leads, channel diversification and deep integration into client workflows differentiate resilient businesses from more commoditised providers. Those able to combine technology, compliance and recurring client relationships are best positioned to compound value through market cycles.

Acqsoft believes the intersection of lead generation, PPC and SEO with the home mover market represents a compelling opportunity within technology-enabled services. We continue to see scope to partner with strong management teams to build scalable platforms that support critical customer acquisition needs and deliver attractive long-term investment outcomes.
