The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically slowed the process of property transactions, and conducting business face-to-face is no longer the preferred method, making a contactless way to share information and prevent the spread of COVID-19 more crucial than ever. CubicLease's solution enables the property industry to perform transactions quickly and safely during COVID-19 because it is automated and document-free. Months 3-6 will focus on R&amp;amp;D. In month 12, from feasibility studies conducted in September 2020, CubicLease will have access to 3,000+ mortgage brokers who will be targeted as early adopters at networking events. Month 12-18, CubicLease will save each mortgage broker 36 hours a month equivalent to &amp;pound;748 and will also reduce the initial property purchase steps to 5 minutes.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
