How we evaluate
We score tools on five dimensions (0–5) from public, verifiable information: implementation friction (ease of getting started), integration maturity (APIs, SSO, export), pricing transparency, security posture (heuristic from vendor statements), and SME fit (overall fit for time-poor, budget-conscious UK SMEs). We also record flags: GDPR/DPA claimed, UK/EU data hosting, SSO, and audit logs. Scores and flags are documented in our internal evaluation framework; we use them to keep comparisons consistent and to surface tools that meet compliance and hosting needs.
FAQs
- Who is this guide for?
- UK estate agents, sole traders, and small agency owners evaluating AI for property descriptions, listing copy, CRM, lead management, valuation, and property marketing. The tools we list are chosen for relevance to Rightmove, Zoopla, conveyancing workflows, and UK compliance (EPC, Renters' Rights, client money, redress).
- How do you evaluate tools?
- We score tools on five dimensions (implementation friction, integration maturity, pricing transparency, security posture, SME fit) from public information, and we record flags such as GDPR/DPA and UK/EU data hosting. See the "How we evaluate" section on this page for the full rubric.
- What about EPC, Renters' Rights, and compliance?
- We do not certify tools for Propertymark, NTS, or redress-scheme obligations. You remain responsible for EPC, Renters' Rights, client money, and redress. We surface tools that support compliant operations; suitability for your agency and regulatory duties is your decision.
- Where do I see pricing?
- The comparison table on this page shows a pricing transparency score and GBP starting price where stated. Each tool's detail page has fuller pricing information when we have it — useful for sole traders and small agencies comparing costs.
- What about portal and back-office integration?
- We note integration claims where vendors state them. Confirm that any tool works with your portal feeds (e.g. Rightmove, Zoopla), conveyancing pipeline, and back-office or lettings software before adoption.
