Estate Agents & Letting Agents

Stop losing valuation requests to competitors

The average UK estate agent takes 11+ hours to reply. By Monday morning, 60–70% of weekend enquiries have already contacted a competitor. Cognumi answers every enquiry in under 2 minutes — evenings, weekends, and bank holidays.

The Problem

The enquiry gap is costing you instructions

Most valuation requests and viewing enquiries arrive when your office is closed. The agents that respond fastest win the instruction. Right now, your competitors are winning.

How It Works

From Saturday evening enquiry to Monday morning lead

Every enquiry follows the same structured, consistent workflow — so your team always receives a complete, ready-to-act lead.

01

Enquiry arrives — any channel, any time

Valuation requests, viewing enquiries, landlord queries, and general questions come in via your website, email, or chat. Cognumi captures every one — even at 11pm on a Saturday.

What happens
  • Website contact forms
  • Email enquiries
  • Chat and messaging
  • After-hours capture
02

AI qualifies the lead

Cognumi collects the information your team needs before they step in: property type, location, timeline, intent (sell, let, buy, rent), and contact details — gathered systematically and consistently.

What happens
  • Property type and location
  • Seller / buyer / landlord intent
  • Timeline and urgency
  • Contact details captured
03

Human review where it matters

Complaints, compliance-adjacent questions, pricing disputes, or anything unusual is flagged for human review before any action is taken. AI never guesses on sensitive matters.

What happens
  • Complaints routed to your team
  • No AI advice on valuations
  • Complex cases flagged immediately
  • Human sign-off before action
04

Ready-to-act handover for your team

Your team receives a clear, structured summary: who enquired, what they want, their timeline, and suggested next step. No hunting for context, no chasing the customer.

What happens
  • Structured handover to your inbox
  • All property and contact details
  • Suggested callback or next step
  • Delivered before 9am Monday
What We Run

Workflows built for estate agents

Every service is a managed outcome — not a tool for you to configure and maintain.

Enquiry Handling

Every valuation request, viewing enquiry, and general question captured and answered — across website, email, and chat — even outside business hours.

Lead Qualification

Collect property type, location, timeline, intent, and contact details before your team steps in. Only ready-to-act leads reach your negotiators.

Booking & Follow-Up

Route viewing and valuation requests, send timely follow-up to unresponsive leads, and reduce no-shows with automated reminders.

Landlord & Tenant FAQs

Handle repetitive questions about tenancy agreements, deposit processes, maintenance procedures, and viewing availability — consistently and accurately.

Review Management

Request reviews from satisfied vendors and landlords at the right moment. Draft professional replies to both positive and negative reviews for human approval.

Daily Admin Summaries

Your team starts each day with a clear summary of every lead captured, enquiry handled, and action outstanding — nothing falls through the cracks.

Human Oversight

AI handles the volume. Humans handle the judgement.

Cognumi is not a fully autonomous system. Complaints, disputes, valuation guidance, and anything sensitive is always reviewed by a human before any action is taken. Compliance is built into the workflow — not bolted on.

No AI property valuations or price advice
Complaints always escalated to your team

Common Questions

Estate agent FAQs

Questions specific to how Cognumi works in an estate agency environment.

Does it handle valuation requests specifically?

Yes. Valuation requests are the most common estate agent enquiry we see. Cognumi collects property type, location, timeline, reason for selling or letting, and preferred contact details — so your valuers walk into every call prepared.

What about landlord and tenant queries?

Yes. We build a knowledge base from your approved tenancy policies, maintenance processes, deposit procedures, and common FAQs. Landlords and tenants get consistent, accurate responses — without your team answering the same questions repeatedly.

Will AI give property price advice or valuations?

No. Cognumi never provides valuations, market commentary, or price guidance. These require professional judgement and are always escalated to your team. AI answers FAQs and collects information. Humans make the professional calls.

Does it work with our CRM (Reapit, Alto, Dezrez, Jupix)?

Cognumi delivers structured handover summaries to your team's inbox, formatted to make CRM input fast and straightforward. Direct CRM integration is assessed during setup — most agents find the inbox handover sufficient to start.

What if a complaint or dispute comes in?

Complaints and disputes are immediately flagged for human review — never handled by AI. Your escalation rules are configured during setup so sensitive enquiries always reach the right person without delay.

How quickly can we go live?

Most estate agent pilots are configured, reviewed, and running within 5–7 business days of sign-off. Setup starts with a 30-minute call to understand your enquiry types, tone, and workflow.
