October Budget spurs UK estate agents to embrace new technologies for efficiency

Following the October budget, estate agents across the UK are seeking new ways to adapt to an evolving property market. Rising costs and shifting buyer expectations have driven a need for efficient, cost-effective technology that meets demand while reducing operational strain. Made Snappy 360, a leading provider of virtual tour and floor plan solutions, is helping agents achieve these goals with an innovative tool that simplifies property marketing.

The Drive Towards Efficiency  Amid economic pressures, agents are increasingly adopting technology to streamline processes, save time, and focus resources where they matter most. Made Snappy 360’s solution is part of this wave, offering a combined virtual tour and floor plan tool that requires no manual measuring or complex software. By simply using a 360 camera, agents can create high-quality, immersive tours and accurate floor plans in under 10 minutes, empowering them to meet buyer needs without spending hours on property documentation.

Meeting Modern Buyer Expectations  Today’s buyers are tech-savvy and expect instant access to comprehensive property details. Virtual tours and floor plans provide them with the ability to explore properties remotely, often before deciding to visit in person. By implementing tools like Made Snappy 360, estate agents can offer this experience while attracting higher-quality leads who are more likely to proceed to viewings. This approach not only improves buyer satisfaction but also reduces the time agents spend on viewings for buyers who are less committed.

Quote from a Mark McCorrie, CEO at Made Snappy 360:  “The October budget has underscored the importance of efficiency in today’s property market. Estate agents are under pressure to reduce costs and streamline their operations, and we’re proud to offer a solution that helps them achieve this. Our solution creates virtual tours and floor plans effortlessly, enabling agents to meet market demands without time-consuming, manual processes.”

Navigating new legislation in the Lettings sector

Paul Starkey, technology and property industry veteran and also advisor for Symple, gives his take on how to better monetise lettings operations. 

‘During a housing crisis, the last thing the UK needs is a subsequent catastrophe in the private rented sector (PRS) market. However, this could occur if the sector witnesses a mass exodus of landlords in the coming 12-24 months. With the Labour government proposing so much change to the housing market, including increased taxation, new EPC legislation and banning section 21 evictions, it is more difficult than ever to operate as a buy-to-let (BTL)landlord. 

The sector is currently at a crossroads, one which has prompted many landlords to consider selling, which could lead to a significant reduction in rental stock, driving up prices at a time of high demand. It’s simply a scenario that agents and the government must work to avoid. 

The cost of sustainable housing The push towards net-zero carbon emissions continues to place a huge financial burden on landlords. It has largely been suggested that upgrading properties to meet the new ‘C’ EPC rating by 2030 could cost around £10,000 per property. For landlords managing multiple properties, the investment can seem insurmountable, particularly with rising mortgage rates squeezing margins. This raises a pressing question: is it worth holding onto these properties, or should landlords cash in on today’s high sale prices? 

Without greater Governmental support, such as interest-free loans to facilitate these upgrades, it’s expected many landlords will choose to exit the market rather than face such mounting costs.

Proptech as a lifeline This is where letting agents, equipped with Proptech solutions, can make a real difference. Proptech provides a way to streamline property management, ensuring landlords can more easily comply with regulations and manage their portfolios effectively. By offering tailored support, agents can help landlords navigate the complexities of the new market landscape and encourage them to remain in the BTR space. Meanwhile, technology can simplify the landlord experience by automating routine tasks, tracking compliance, and offering advice on meeting new standards. 

Whether it’s managing a large portfolio, meeting new sustainability targets, or coordinating with local tradespeople for property improvements, there are Proptech platforms available on the market to help manage the entire journey, end to end. (Paul Starkey)

Navigating a new era As the PRS market enters a new era, the Government must provide two essential components to encourage success: transparency and support. Firstly, landlords desperately need a clear outline of their responsibilities under the new legislation. At present, it’s not clear what will be required of private landlords or when, and this must be made crystal clear to allow adequate time for preparation and action.

Secondly, the Government must back innovative Proptech firms that can assist in implementing these changes nationally. By fostering a supportive environment and encouraging the use of digital technology, the government can make the transition much easier for landlords, helping to reduce the risk of them leaving the market entirely.

A win-win for the PRS Adopting Proptech isn’t just beneficial, it’s absolutely vital if the PRS is to thrive in this new landscape. Digital platforms can lessen administrative burdens, improve communication between landlords, agents, and tenants, and ensure compliance with ever-changing regulations. 

The market is at a crucial turning point; now is the time for agents and landlords to embrace Proptech to make property management more efficient, reduce costs, and keep properties in the rental market. Acting now will help to ensure a stable, long-term impact on the sector’s future’.
