Managed Support Staff for UK Estate Agents & Letting Agencies
Your negotiators should be out winning instructions and closing deals — not buried in portal admin, compliance chasing and tenant emails. Augment Teams gives you dedicated, AI-trained support staff who handle the back-office work that keeps your agency running — fully managed, from £600/month.
No commitment. 15-minute call. We'll scope the role for your agency.The Admin Bottleneck Every Growing Agency Hits
Your book is growing but your team isn't. Every new instruction adds viewings to coordinate, compliance to chase and landlords to update. Your best people are drowning in admin instead of winning business.
Portal admin eating your negotiators' time
Writing listings, uploading photos, refreshing Rightmove and Zoopla ads, responding to portal enquiries. Every void week costs your landlords money — and you reputation.
Viewing coordination is a full-time job
Booking viewings, confirming with applicants, chasing feedback, updating landlords. Multiply that across 30+ live listings and your negotiators have no time left to actually sell.
Tenant and landlord emails piling up
Maintenance requests, tenancy queries, rent arrears, renewal negotiations. Every unanswered email is a risk to your landlord retention and your Google reviews.
Compliance deadlines slipping through
Gas safety, EPCs, EICRs, deposit protection, Right to Rent. One missed certificate means fines, legal exposure and a difficult conversation with your landlord client.
Landlord reporting and financial admin
Monthly statements, rent reconciliation, contractor invoicing, Xero updates. The back-office work that keeps landlords happy is relentless and repetitive.
No capacity to win new instructions
Market appraisals, prospecting, building referral relationships — the growth work that actually builds your agency. But there's no time when you're firefighting admin.
