James Caan Buys 25% of look4aproperty.com

James Caan, entrepreneur and star of the BBC’s popular business pitching show, Dragon’s Den, has become chairman of independent UK property portal look4aproperty.com.

The news was announced on look4aproperty.com’s blog, which says that James Caan sees the move as a clear sign of his confidence in the UK housing market.

Through the investment arm of his business empire – Hamilton Bradshaw – Caan has secured a 25 per cent stake in look4aproperty.com. The exact figures involved in the deal have not been disclosed.

look4aproperty.com was founded by young entrepreneur Aaron Turner. “Aaron Turner is one of the most innovative and successful entrepreneurs in the country and I am delighted to be working with him,” said Caan.

Aaron Turner established look4aproperty.com in 2004, after working for 12 months as a ‘young MD’ for The Caudwell Group, which is the parent company of several other major businesses, including Phones 4U and 20:20 Mobile Group. During Turner’s time at the company he was the subject of a BBC documentary for The Money Programme.

Caan and Turner say they plan to announce a series of new products to kick-start the struggling UK housing market in the New Year.

“I see this investment as an important move in the face of the current recession,” says Caan.
