The Property Franchise Group partners with Coadjute

I know, yet another piece about one of my clients, but again it is big news and speaking personally great news, as estate agency is still unfortunately until now in the foothills with how it is going to digitally transform its operations. At last we are seeing the clear routemap emerging that will help every single stakeholder who does property, to do it faster, better more efficently and with greater insight.

‘The Property Franchise Group (TPFG) has announced today that at the conclusion of a successful pilot they will be expanding their use of the network with the view to start rolling out nationally with Coadjute, the London-based property technology business. TPFG, the largest franchise estate agency group in the UK, has been piloting the solution across 12 of their branches over the last five months.

The rollout will include Coadjute’s digital property data pack capability and smart forms which are designed to help agents meet the latest National Trading Standards Estate and Letting Agency Team (NTSELAT) guidance. Coadjute’s digital data solutions enable estate agents to access a range of data sources at the press of a button. Once the relevant data is sourced, it can then be transposed instantly to a range of property forms including PIQ, BASPI or TA6 and shared with the seller and conveyancer.

Over the past five months of the pilot, the solutions have saved the participating TPFG branches 25 minutes per transaction on average, which equates to around 39 working days. TPFG sees it as a key tool in helping their network and consumers speed up transaction times and cut fall-through rates.
