Custom software for property

We build bespoke systems for property organisations: listing and tenancy management, compliance tracking and tenant or landlord portals. Each one is shaped around how your team works and connected to the software you already rely on.

Systems we build

Typical real estate projects. Each is scoped to your process, not a template.

  • Estate Agency CRM and Listing Platform

    A comprehensive CRM for estate agents that manages buyer and vendor relationships, automates property matching, syndicates listings to all major portals, tracks chain progression, and provides pipeline reporting from market appraisal through to completion.

  • Lettings Compliance Automation System

    A compliance management platform that tracks every regulatory requirement for each tenancy including gas safety certificates, EPC ratings, deposit protection deadlines, right-to-rent checks, and selective licensing renewals with automated alerts before expiry.

  • Tenant Self-Service Portal

    A web and mobile portal for tenants to report maintenance issues with photo uploads, track repair progress, view tenancy documents, make rent payments, and communicate with their property manager through a secure messaging system.

  • Property Development Sales Platform

    A sales and marketing platform for off-plan and new-build property developments featuring interactive site plans, unit availability tracking, reservation workflows, buyer document management, and progress update notifications through construction to completion.

  • Housing Association Tenant Satisfaction Measures Dashboard

    A data collection and reporting system that administers Tenant Satisfaction Measures surveys, analyses results by property type and area, benchmarks against sector performance, and generates submissions for the Regulator of Social Housing.

Problems we hear about

The issues that usually prompt the first conversation.
  • Estate and letting agents manage listings across Rightmove, Zoopla, OnTheMarket, and their own websites but lack unified systems to update properties, track enquiries, and manage viewings from a single dashboard
  • The Renters Reform Bill introduces significant changes including abolition of Section 21 no-fault evictions, a private rented sector ombudsman, and a property portal that will require new compliance systems for landlords and agents
  • Tenant referencing, right-to-rent checks, deposit protection, and gas safety certificate tracking involve multiple third-party services and manual processes that are error-prone and time-consuming
  • Property management companies handling hundreds or thousands of units struggle to track maintenance requests, contractor appointments, and compliance certificates at scale without purpose-built software
  • Housing associations and registered providers must report to the Regulator of Social Housing and comply with the Social Housing Regulation Act 2023 including Tenant Satisfaction Measures

Off-the-shelf or custom?

There are good off-the-shelf products for most of property. If one fits your process, use it; we will tell you if we think so. Custom software makes sense when your process is distinctive, when you are joining several tools together by hand, or when a product forces your team into workarounds every day.

Rules we design around

Legislation and standards that commonly shape systems in this sector. We design with them in mind; your compliance advisers have the final word.
  • Renters Reform Bill (upcoming)
  • Housing Act 2004 (HHSRS and HMO licensing)
  • Tenant Fees Act 2019
  • Client Money Protection Regulations 2019
  • Deposit Protection Legislation
  • Right to Rent checks under Immigration Act 2014
  • UK GDPR for tenant and landlord data
  • Estate Agents Act 1979
  • Social Housing Regulation Act 2023
  • Building Safety Act 2022 for higher-risk buildings
