AI reception for UK estate & letting agents

Viewing requests can't wait for Monday.

Applicants call about properties the moment they see them — evenings, weekends, on their lunch. If your line rings out, they book a viewing with the next agent. Frontmate answers 24/7, captures viewing requests, handles applicant and landlord enquiries, and emails your team the details.

In short

A UK-based AI receptionist that answers your estate or letting agency's calls — handles viewing requests and property enquiries, captures details, and emails you every call. Built to your agency, live in about a week, no long contract.

The viewings going to the next agent

A missed call is a missed viewing.

Property is fast-moving and applicants are impatient — they call about a listing and want a viewing now. Peak enquiry times are evenings and weekends, exactly when the office is closed and calls hit voicemail.

What Frontmate handles for your agency.

Tuned to how an estate or letting agency actually runs — from viewing request to booked appointment.

Viewings

Captures viewing requests

Takes the property, the applicant's details and availability, and requests or books a viewing so nothing waits until Monday.

Applicants

Handles applicant enquiries

Answers questions about listings and captures applicant details — what they're after, budget and timing — for your team.

Landlords

Takes landlord calls

Captures landlord enquiries and maintenance reports, and routes urgent issues to the right process straight away.

Listings

Answers property questions

Availability, price, key features, whether it's still on the market — from your own listing info.

Hours

Covers evenings & weekends

Picks up when the office is closed — the exact times applicants ring about properties they've just seen.

Summaries

Emails the enquiry

Every call ends with a tidy summary to your team — the property, the applicant, and what they want next.

How it works

From first chat to live in about a week.

I handle the build and the technical setup. You just start catching the viewings and enquiries you were missing.

Step 01

We talk

A quick call to learn how applicants and landlords contact you, and when calls slip through.

Step 02

I build it

I tune Frontmate's voice, script and guardrails to your listings, process and how you book viewings.

Step 03

We connect it

I hook it into your phone line and email, and test it against real enquiry scenarios with you.

Step 04

You go live

Frontmate starts answering — instantly, around the clock. You get every enquiry straight to your inbox.

Simple, predictable pricing

Less than a receptionist. Never off sick.

A part-time office hire costs £20,000+ a year. Frontmate is a fraction of that — and one recovered let or sale a month more than covers it. A single tenancy or completed sale is worth far more than a year of the service.

Plans include one business number and a one-off setup where we build and tune your agent. Final pricing is confirmed on a short call, once we know your call volume. No long lock-ins to try it.

Questions

What agents ask before they trust it.

How does an AI receptionist work for an estate or letting agency?
Frontmate answers your line with a natural voice, captures viewing requests, handles applicant and landlord enquiries, answers listing questions, and emails your team a summary after every call. It covers the times your office is closed or busy.
Can it book viewings?
Yes. It captures the property, the applicant's details and availability, and requests or books a viewing during the call, so an applicant never has to wait until the office reopens.
Can it handle landlord and maintenance calls?
Yes. It captures landlord enquiries and maintenance reports, and routes urgent issues to your chosen process straight away, so nothing important is missed after hours.
How much does it cost?
Frontmate costs a fraction of an office hire, and one recovered let or sale a month more than covers it. Final pricing is confirmed on a short call once we know your call volume.
How long does setup take?
An agency reception agent is usually answering calls within about a week. We tune it to your listings and process, and test it against real scenarios before it goes live.
Can it take viewing requests?
Yes. It captures which property, the applicant's details and their availability, then emails your team so a viewing can be arranged — instead of the enquiry waiting until Monday.
Does it answer evenings and weekends when buyers and renters call?
That's the main use. Most viewing and property calls come outside office hours — Frontmate answers then, so applicants don't move on to the next agent's listing.
