Spain's hausum raises €500,000 to scale home-inspection service nationwide
What's the deal? Spanish startup hausum has raised more than €500,000 (≈$562,547) to fund growth and expand across the country. The round was led by investment fund diroca.
What does hausum do? Founded in 2023 by architect Aleix del Campo and computer engineer Omar Lamarca, the company offers independent technical inspections for homebuyers. It carries out about 4,000 inspections a year, mainly in Barcelona and Madrid.
What's the money for? The company plans to use the funding to expand nationwide, improve its app, and add related services such as document checks. It expects revenue to exceed €1 million.
Why now? The round is small beside larger Spanish proptech deals — rental-management platform ZazumeDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → raised €2.5 million in June — but hausum targets a distinct niche. Its architect-led service aims to serve buyers who want independent checks before purchase.
What could go wrong? The key test is whether the service can scale beyond Barcelona and Madrid while reaching profitability. Expanding an expert-led model nationwide is harder than growing a pure software product.
The signal: Investors are backing focused proptech plays that solve concrete problems, not just broad platforms. hausum's bet is that independent inspections can become a standard step in Spanish home-buying.
