Real estate software development and AI, built around how property works

Real estate software development is building custom systems for property businesses, such as property management platforms, agent CRMs, tenant and landlord portals, listing integrations, valuation tools and document automation. It suits businesses whose workflows do not fit off-the-shelf agency software, or proptech companies building their own product. The work covers scoping, design, development, data migration and connecting the portals, diaries and accounting tools the business already uses.

It depends on what is built, so every project gets a written quote after a free scoping call. As typical ranges from our service pages, a focused custom CRM costs £12,000–£40,000, a single-use-case AI chatbot costs £5,000–£15,000, and custom software runs from £8,000 for a focused internal tool to £80,000+ for a full platform. A proptech SaaS MVP typically costs £30,000–£80,000.

A focused AI chatbot for enquiries typically takes 2–4 weeks and a focused CRM typically takes 8–12 weeks. A focused custom tool or MVP typically takes 4–8 weeks, while a full platform with integrations typically takes 3–6 months. We work in two-week sprints, so you see working software throughout, and you get an estimated timeline with the written quote.

AI in real estate is most useful for answering and qualifying enquiries, booking viewings, matching applicants to listings, estimating property values from comparable sales, drafting listing descriptions, and extracting key terms and dates from leases and contracts. The best results come from AI connected to your own listings and CRM rather than a generic chatbot. A person should still review valuations, legal terms and anything sent to a buyer, seller or tenant.

Yes. We build property management systems covering properties and units, tenancies, rent schedules and arrears, maintenance requests and contractors, inspections and certificate expiry reminders, with separate access for staff, landlords, tenants and contractors. If you already use a lettings platform, we can build the missing pieces around it through its API instead of replacing it.

Buy when a standard agency CRM fits your process and your team is happy with it. Build, or extend, when you run an unusual mix of sales, lettings and management, need integrations the vendor does not offer, or want AI and automation on your own data. A common middle path is keeping your existing CRM and adding custom automation around it. See our custom CRM development service for detail.

Yes. An AI chatbot connected to your live listings can answer questions about a property, ask qualifying questions such as budget, move date and mortgage position, and offer viewing slots from your agents’ calendars. It can run on your website, WhatsApp or a portal inbox and passes the conversation to a person when a question needs human judgement, such as negotiation or a complaint.

Yes, where the portal offers a feed or API and your account has access to it. Portals control their own data feeds, so the first step is confirming what your membership allows. We then build listing syndication from one master record, lead import into your CRM, and status updates, so listings are not re-keyed into each portal by hand.

Yes. We build pipelines that collect publicly available listing, rental and sold-price data for comparables, market research and valuation models, and deliver it cleaned into a database or dashboard. We check each target site’s terms and prefer official APIs and open datasets where they exist. Whether a particular use of scraped data is permitted remains your decision, and we flag the questions to ask.

Accuracy depends on the quality and volume of comparable sales in an area, and on how typical the property is. Models tend to do better on standard homes in active markets than on unusual or high-value properties. We test the model on past sales you hold back and show you where it performs well and poorly, so it supports a valuer’s judgement rather than replacing it.

We build with role-based access, encrypted connections and storage, audit logs and data retention settings designed to support UK GDPR and similar privacy laws. Tenants, landlords, contractors and staff each see only what they need. Hosting can be in the region you choose. Meeting your legal obligations remains your responsibility, and we document how the system handles personal data to help with that.
