Realla
Realla is a privately held commercial property technology company founded in 2014 by Andrew Miles and Ian Parry.

Realla is a free-to-list commercial property search engine. Commercial property agents and landlords can list their properties for free. This competed with traditional paid-listings sites such as EG Propertylink (a commercial property portal owned by Estates Gazette), Rightmove Commercial (originally a joint venture between four of the UK's largest property agents, now a public limited company), Zoopla Commercial (a British company, owned by Silver Lake Partners.) and Novoloca (a private company based in Biggleswade).

Functionality
Realla is a commercial property search engine with listing across all types of commercial property: traditional office, serviced office, retail, warehouse and land. Commercial property agents are able to list their properties for free. Realla uses crawling technology to list commercial buildings on the portal. Crawl technology, known also like web crawlers or spiderbot, copies property details for let or sale from the agents’ and landlords’ websites and posts it on the portal.

Data
Realla data was sometimes used by like Property Week to showcase search habits of commercial property tenants online.
