Made Snappy 360 says 61% of letting agents omit property measurements from their listings – which NTSELAT now requires
Letting agents across the UK are proactively responding to an update from the National Trading Standards in Estate & Letting Agency (NTSELAT) regarding recommended “material information” in property listings. This update, covering 27 crucial pieces of information, including room measurements, diverges from current industry practices for many lettings operations.
NTSELAT’s Material Information Update: The NTSELAT document, “Material Information in Property Listings (Lettings) v1.0,” emphasises the importance of including detailed room measurements in lettings listings. NTSELAT defines “material information” as data that significantly impacts a tenant’s enjoyment of the property.
Industry Response: Kevin Hall, Director of Martin & Co in Ashford, has taken proactive steps by making measured floor plans standard in both new and re-let stock. He underscores the importance of staying ahead of regulatory changes, stating,
“I think it’s important to get ahead of the curve when it comes to regulation. It only takes me ten minutes to produce a measured floor plan through my provider Made Snappy 360 as I don’t need to measure or sketch anything, and I pass the cost onto my landlords.”
Angi Cooney, Director of C Residential in Rugeley, echoes this sentiment, leveraging innovative floor plan technology to provide accurate room dimensions quickly.

‘Unlike AI data entry, manual data entry is a traditional way of inputting information into computer systems like databases. Manual data entry involves an employee – a data entry operator, who reads the information from physical documents and then types it into digital forms, spreadsheets, CRMs, or databases. The manually entered data is sorted, and organized, and stored on servers, hard drives, or cloud platforms.
Making the correct choice between manual data entry and automated or AI data entry is crucial for businesses, significantly impacting operational efficiency and data management processes in the future.
