Akshay Ruparelia, Doorsteps.co.uk:

This millionaire tycoon is just 19 and he aims to revolutionize “archaic and backwards” UK housing market by offering a 97% discount on home-selling. Born to deaf parents, Ruparelia found it pretty hard to move from one house to another. The kind of money those real estate agents charged really shocked him and that’s how Doorsteps.co.uk came into being. He officially launched Doorstep.co.uk in 2016 when he was in second year of his A level. Often described in the press as the “Uber of the property world”, Doorsteps.co.uk hires self-employed ‘local property consultants’ proportionate to the number of properties it has to sell at any given time. The venture works on a process that cuts overheads to the great extent , it also allows buyers to take more control of the process and involvement, including hosting viewings, which tend to be a massive cost burden on traditional agents. Charging only £99 upfront, there is no commission on the sale of any properties made via the site. In an extremely competitive marketplace, Ruparelia’s start-up – rated in the top five for customer service – has already grabbed 0.5% of the UK market (£0.5bn). That’s just so huge!
