Agents work at speed. Listings change quickly and vendors expect regular updates. Every instruction depends on how well an agent prepares before walking into a valuation.
The tools agencies rely on need to keep up with that speed, cut back manual checks and present up‑to‑date records in one place so you can act with confidence.
We built Sprift with this in mind. Our dashboards bring verified property information together so you can prepare, present and follow up without switching between multiple sources.
Why do agents compare software before adopting it?
Most teams already use several systems in their workflow, so new tools must offer tangible value. Teams want smoother preparation and a faster way to gather facts before a valuation.
Many agencies look at how well a system handles ownership records, planning entries and EPC information. If a property data platform cannot gather these quickly, it’ll slow you down instead of supporting the transaction.
Data accuracy is also key. Outdated records can raise questions in vendor conversations, especially when past sales or planning notes don’t align with the latest public file.
How to review a full property file in minutes
Speed matters. A typical valuation leaves little time to prepare. Estate agent software should give you the details you need without long searches or manual cross-checking.
Modern systems bring together title information, planning entries and EPC bands alongside mapping, local schools, broadband speeds and transport links. You can read this before leaving the office and take the same insight into your valuation notes.
With our platform, a clear layout reduces the chance of missing key details. Everything appears in a single dashboard, including property photos and EPC ratings, with relevant transaction history where available.
Which features help turn data into a valuation?
Property information turns into action when you can read it quickly and judge what matters. Estate agent data software should help you:
- Compare nearby sales with filters
- Review EPC bands
- Check local schools, amenities and transport links
- Scan planning notes for constraints
- Identify environmental risks early
Each item feeds into a valuation figure that feels grounded. Vendors respond to clear detail, and agents benefit when the groundwork is already complete.
This helps you move from research to pricing with more certainty.
How do agents use digital reports during vendor conversations?
Valuation meetings rely on how clearly you can explain your reasoning. Digital reports help vendors see the data behind your suggested price.
Reports generated with platforms like ours can present the property’s EPC band and sale history, show planning notes and mapping, and highlight nearby schools and transport links. This transparency helps vendors understand how different factors influence value.
You can also highlight recommended EPC actions or highlight upgrades that may influence buyer interest. These small touches help vendors understand market expectations.
What should you check before presenting a proposal?
A short review before drafting a proposal avoids mistakes and prepares you for more detailed questions. Common checks include:
- Recent sales within a set radius
- EPC band and recommended measures
- Planning history on the property and neighbouring homes
- Council tax band
- Environmental records
Running these checks inside estate agent software means nothing sits in separate folders or outdated spreadsheets, reducing the risk of missing key details before a valuation discussion.
How can agencies coordinate branches using shared dashboards?
Multi‑branch agencies need consistency. Valuers, managers and negotiators all rely on access to the same information. Our estate agent software helps branches align without sending files back and forth.
Shareable dashboards give each branch access to identical records. Users can open planning entries, EPC bands and local sales files from the same screen, while managers can check figures without requesting another copy of the file.
A shared view reduces small errors that appear when teams gather information from different places.
Which tasks feel easier when reports are automated?
Manual research slows everything down. Using estate agent software inside daily routines can ease several tasks, especially for newer valuers. When agents use automated data pulls, several common tasks become smoother:
- Preparing valuation notes
- Reviewing changes in EPC bands
- Comparing nearby sales
- Flagging planning constraints
- Building proposal reports
Automated reports also help newer valuers learn faster when estate agent software guides how information is laid out. They can see the same detail experienced valuers rely on, helping them prepare more confidently.
How can software help new agents settle into their roles?
New agents need guidance during their first months. The right estate agent software provides a repeatable framework to follow.
When property data appears in the same place every time, newer agents spend less time searching for records and more time understanding the information.
Clear layout and consistent structure also help new agents ask better questions during vendor meetings and focus on what matters most.
What makes our software stand out?
At Sprift, our dashboards present verified data across 30 million UK residential properties. Within one report, you can see:
