Property, lettings & PropTech

AI & Software Development for UK Real Estate & PropTech

We help estate and letting agents, property managers, developers and PropTech startups build the portals, integrations and admin tools behind a property business — from listing feeds to repairs — so your team spends less time re-keying and chasing.

  • Agents approve every AI-drafted listing
  • Designed around UK GDPR for tenant data
  • Fixed price after a paid discovery sprint

Industry challenges

Where property teams get buried in admin.

Agencies and property managers rarely lack software. They lack software that shares data — so the same address, tenant and certificate get typed into three different systems.

Good first projects

  • One listing record that feeds every portal
  • Compliance dates tracked with automatic reminders
  • Repair requests triaged and tracked in one place
  • Landlord and vendor portals that answer routine questions

Listings typed more than once

Property details, photos, floor plans and material information are entered in the CRM, adjusted for each portal and corrected again whenever something changes.

Enquiries arriving from everywhere

Portal leads, website forms, emails and calls land in different inboxes, and slow replies lose applicants and vendors to the agent down the road.

Lettings rules that keep moving

Tenancy law, notice requirements and landlord obligations change over time, and differ between England, Scotland and Wales — admin tools built on fixed templates struggle to keep up.

Compliance dates on spreadsheets

Gas safety records, EICRs, EPCs, licences, deposit protection and right-to-rent follow-ups tracked by hand, where one missed date becomes a real problem.

Repairs run by phone and email

Tenants report issues however they can, contractors chase approvals, and landlords ask for updates that nobody has time to send.

Clients who want to see progress

Landlords want statements and repair updates, vendors want viewing feedback, and buyers want to know where their sale has got to — without ringing the office.

AI use cases

Practical AI for agents and property managers.

AI that drafts, reads and sorts, so negotiators and property managers can spend their time with people — and a person approves anything that goes to a client, contractor or portal.

Sales and lettings

Listing description drafts

Draft property descriptions from the details, room measurements and photos you provide, in your house style. The agent checks every claim before anything is published.

Branch teams

Enquiry triage

Sort portal and website enquiries into buyers, tenants, vendors and landlords, pick out budget, timing and position, and suggest viewing slots for staff to confirm.

Property managers

Tenancy and lease pack extraction

Read tenancy agreements and lease packs and pull out parties, dates, rent, break clauses, review dates and service charge terms into structured records for checking.

Maintenance desks

Repair request classification

Classify reports by trade and urgency from the tenant’s description and photos, flag damp, mould and safety issues for immediate human review, and suggest a contractor.

Vendors and landlords

Viewing feedback summaries

Turn scattered viewing notes into a clear weekly update for each vendor or landlord, drafted for the negotiator to edit and send.

PropTech products

Plain-English property search

Let users search the way they talk — “two bedrooms, outside space, near a station” — mapped onto your listing data and filters they can still see and adjust.

Technology & integration

Built around the systems you already use.

Most agencies already run a CRM or property management system and send data to the portals. We integrate through published APIs and feed specifications, and tell you early if a supplier limits what is possible.

Security & data

How we handle tenant and client data.

Property files hold passports, bank details, references and home addresses. Here is how we build with that data by default.

Access by role and branch

Negotiators, property managers, landlords, tenants and contractors each see only what their role needs, with leaver steps built into the admin screens.

ID documents handled carefully

Right-to-rent and AML documents stored encrypted, visible to as few people as possible, and deleted on the retention schedule you set rather than kept forever.

Encrypted and backed up

Encrypted in transit and at rest, backed up, and hosted in UK regions when your data protection policy requires it.

A history of every change

Changes to tenancies, deposit records and compliance dates are logged with who and when, so disputes and complaints can be answered from the record.

Staff sign off AI drafts

AI-drafted listings, replies and classifications are suggestions. A named member of staff approves anything sent to a portal, client or contractor.

Less personal data sent to AI

Personal details are removed or masked before AI processing where the task allows, and we use providers and settings that do not train on your data.

We are a software development company, not a lettings compliance service, law firm or regulator. We build to the requirements your compliance lead, legal adviser and redress scheme set — including changes to tenancy law — and provide the technical evidence they ask for. Decisions and sign-off stay with your business.

How we work

How we build while your branches keep trading.

Seven stages, the same on every project. The length of each one changes with the work; skipping one never saves time for long.

  1. 01

    Discovery

    We sit with negotiators and property managers, list every system and spreadsheet in play, and pin down which compliance dates, documents and approvals the new software must track.

    Process map and data inventory

  2. 02

    Strategy

    We agree what to fix first — often feeds, reminders or repairs — and what can wait, so the first release is useful on its own before any bigger platform decisions.

  3. 03

    UX & architecture

    User journeys, wireframes and a clickable prototype, alongside the architecture, data model and integration plan that will carry it.

    Prototype and architecture decisions

  4. 04

    Development

    Two-week sprints with a demo at the end of each, code review on every change, and a staging environment your team can use.

    Working software every sprint

  5. 05

    Testing

    Portal feeds are tested against each portal’s requirements, data migrations are rehearsed on a copy of your records, and landlord and tenant screens are checked for accessibility.

  6. 06

    Launch

    We go live branch by branch or portfolio by portfolio, migrate records with a reconciliation report, and keep the old system readable until you are happy to switch it off.

    Optimisation & support

    After launch we fix, measure and improve — a support retainer, a roadmap of next features, or a clean handover to your own team.

FAQs

Questions we get asked.

Straight answers on scope, cost, timelines and how we work. If yours is not here, ask us directly.

Ask us a question

Can you send our listings to Rightmove, Zoopla and OnTheMarket?

Yes. Most agencies already send listings through their CRM, and we can build on that. PropTech products that need their own feed can have one built to each portal’s specification — portals run their own onboarding and testing for feed providers, which we plan into the timeline.

Will you replace our CRM or work with it?

Usually we work with it. If your CRM or property management system has an API, we add what it lacks — a landlord portal, a repairs flow, a compliance tracker — and sync data both ways. Replacing core agency software is a bigger decision, and we would only suggest it after discovery.

How do you handle changes to tenancy law?

We make tenancy types, notice templates, reminders and required fields configurable rather than hard-coded, so a change in the rules is a configuration update rather than a rebuild. England, Scotland and Wales each have their own tenancy law, handled as separate configurations. Your compliance lead or solicitor decides the rules; we build them in.

Can your software run right-to-rent and AML checks?

It can prompt and record them. We integrate with identity verification providers and the Home Office share code process used for right-to-rent checks in England, store each result with its date, and schedule follow-up checks for time-limited permission. The check and the decision stay with you.

Is AI-written listing copy safe to publish?

Only after an agent has checked it. AI drafts save time on wording, but they can get facts wrong, and agents are responsible for accurate listings and material information. We build the workflow so a named person approves each description before it reaches a portal.

Can you build a PropTech MVP?

Yes. A paid discovery sprint, from £2,000, agrees the smallest product that proves your idea; we then build it as a fixed-price project. A typical MVP takes around six to ten weeks, depending on scope and on integrations such as portal feeds, payments or identity checks.

Can you migrate data from our old property management system?

Yes. We map the old data to the new structure, clean duplicates and rehearse the migration on a copy first, with a reconciliation report covering properties, tenancies, balances and documents. Some older systems only export part of their data, so we check exports during discovery.

How much does property software cost?

It depends on scope and integrations. Discovery starts from £2,000; after that, each release is quoted as a fixed price with milestone billing. For ongoing work, a dedicated developer starts from £2,900 a month, or you can book hours from £20 an hour.
