A Tyneside property technology company which appeared on a popular Channel 4 show has secured a £370,000 investment to help it grow.
Peek Home began as a hobby for Roland and Jaemi Glancy, who enjoyed helping their friends to visualise the potential for their homes with sketch designs and 3D models. Word spread through their children’s school WhatsApp group and what started as an evening and weekend pasttime quickly became a successful venture, to the point where the Cullercoats couple were able to officially launch Peek Home as a business in August 2021.
Peek Home allows homeowners to get the best out of their homes at the click of a butto, with professionally designed sketch plans, delivered in days, for a fraction of the cost of an architect. The firm now offers add-on products including 3D walkthroughs, VR home tours and exterior visualisations. Word of mouth and an appearance on Channel 4’s Love It or List It with Kirstie and Phil has led to the company designing thousands of home renovations across the UK, with a total project value approaching £100m.
