UK sees a big increase in beard oil startups

Buying a home in the UK is a slog.
It's almost a national sport - second only to football - and it's incredibly complicated.
Plentific could change that.Created by Cem Savas and Emre Kazan, it aims to guide and ease buyers through home purchasing.The site's 'Academy' allows buyers to register. It then provides a step-by-step guide through the buying process.
Search is powered by Zoopla, which covers every facet of the residential property market in Britain. Plentific then integrates the user's registration data to return relevant affordable properties.The portal then enables consumers to interact with the contractors and service providers (such as surveyors, conveyancers and architects) they'll need to complete the transaction.   
Ready to Compete
Plentific is up against some very stiff competition. But they believe they are ready to face that competition head-on.Savas spent nine months just preparing the business plan. During the design and build stage, both partners took the time to develop relationships with the various companies and individuals who could assist them.
Right now, the housing market in the UK is surging thanks to extremely low interest rates and gradually rising prices. With more people looking to buy first homes or upgrade, there is plenty of opportunity for Plentific to prove its worth.
