Estate agent CRM for UK sales and lettings
UK agencies run sales and lettings under one roof, with portals, applicants and strict data rules. Here is what a CRM must do.
Key takeaways
- UK agencies manage vendors, buyers, landlords and tenants together.
- Portals such as Rightmove and Zoopla drive most enquiries.
- UK GDPR and PECR govern data and marketing.
How UK estate agency works
UK estate agents handle sales (vendors and applicants) and lettings (landlords and tenants). Most enquiries arrive through portals such as Rightmove, Zoopla and OnTheMarket, along with the agency’s own website and walk-ins. Sales progression, the work between agreed offer and completion, is a distinct stage that many agencies handle internally.
What an estate agent CRM must handle
| Need | Detail |
|---|---|
| Two audiences | Applicants and vendors on the sales side; tenants and landlords on the lettings side |
| Valuations | Leads who want a valuation are your future instructions |
| Portal enquiries | Fast response across several portals |
| Renewals | Tenancy renewals and landlord reviews |
Many UK agencies also use specialist estate agency platforms that combine CRM, property management and accounts. A CRM-first tool like ours suits agencies that want a clear pipeline alongside existing systems.
Data protection and marketing rules
Agencies must comply with UK GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR). That means a lawful basis for processing, clear privacy information and consent for direct marketing by email or text. In lettings, the Tenant Fees Act 2019 limits what can be charged to tenants. Estate agents must also follow anti-money-laundering requirements. This is general information, not legal advice.
