AI for Estate Agents
Respond to Every Enquiry in Seconds. Book Viewings Around the Clock.
In property, the first agent to respond wins the instruction or the sale — and 53% of enquiries arrive outside office hours when your team isn't there to answer. We build AI automation that responds to every enquiry in seconds, qualifies buyers and tenants, and books viewings directly into your calendar, whether it's 9am on a Monday or 11pm on a Sunday.
The Estate Agent Time Drain
Where Estate Agencies Lose Competitive Advantage
Estate agents now spend 55% of their working day chasing or being chased for updates — up from 44% the previous year, according to Landmark's 2024 research. Meanwhile, 54% of agents report feeling burdened by repetitive manual processes. Here's where that admin is costing you instructions and completions.
What We Automate for Estate Agencies
From enquiry to completion
Enquiry Response & Qualification
Instant AI responses to every Rightmove, Zoopla, and direct website enquiry — 24/7. Buyers and tenants are qualified on budget, timeline, and circumstances before your team starts their day.
Viewing Booking & Reminders
AI books viewings directly into your calendar, sends multi-stage confirmation reminders, and lets prospects self-reschedule — reducing no-shows by up to two thirds.
Vendor & Landlord Updates
Automated viewing feedback reports and regular market update emails keep vendors and landlords informed without your negotiators spending 22+ hours a week on relationship management calls.
Tenancy Renewal Sequences
Automated renewal workflows trigger 90 days before expiry — chasing tenant decisions, managing rent negotiation, and escalating to your team only when human judgement is needed.
Maintenance Triage
AI logs maintenance requests, categorises urgency, assigns contractors, and keeps tenants informed throughout — resolving 18–20% of issues through self-help before a contractor visit is needed.
Compliance Reminders
Automated alerts for gas safety certificate renewals, EPC expiry, right-to-rent re-checks, and tenancy deposit protection deadlines — so nothing slips through the cracks across your portfolio.

The Business Case
What Faster Response Times Are Actually Worth
Consider a mid-sized estate agency receiving 200 enquiries per month. 53% — around 106 — arrive outside office hours and sit cold until the morning. If just 10% of those would have converted with an immediate response (a conservative figure, given research showing first-responder advantage in 78% of cases), that's 10–11 missed instructions per month. At an average UK commission of 1.3–1.5% on a £275,000 property, each instruction is worth roughly £3,600–£4,100 in fees. That's over £40,000 in annual revenue sitting in an unanswered inbox every night.
Beyond captured revenue, automation recovers meaningful staff time. Street.co.uk data shows agents spend an average of 22.8 hours per week on communication and relationship management, and letting agents a further 9.2 hours on maintenance alone. A £7,200 annual AI stack investment has been shown to deliver £47,875 in first-year benefit through reduced admin, captured leads, and avoided compliance failures — a 565% ROI. With 94% of agents expecting admin tasks to be fully automated within five years, early adoption isn't a risk; waiting is.
Frequently Asked Questions
AI can handle the high-volume, repetitive tasks that consume the most negotiator time without generating instructions. This includes instant responses to Rightmove, Zoopla, and direct website enquiries around the clock; qualifying buyers and tenants by capturing budget, timeline, and circumstances before your team is even in the office; booking viewings directly into calendars; sending automated viewing reminders and feedback requests; chasing tenancy renewals 90 days before expiry; triaging maintenance requests; and keeping vendors and landlords updated after viewings. According to Street.co.uk, communication and relationship management tasks alone consume an average of 22.8 hours per week per agent — and maintenance-related tasks a further 9.2 hours for letting agents. AI automation can recover the majority of that time and redirect it to valuations, negotiations, and instructions.
