As an estate agent, we appreciate how eager you are to get your properties listed and in the market. After-all it’s a numbers game, with as many as 30% of property sales not making it all the way to exchange or completion it becomes even more important to have as many listings as possible at the top of your pipeline. However, before the listing goes live and the marketing starts it’s vital to carefully review and verify the accuracy of the property material information and description in the listing. Accurate information doesn’t only build trust with any prospective buyers or tenants as they heavily rely on the property information you provide them with to make a decision, but it is also your legal requirement to make sure that the property information you publish is 100% accurate.
Just gathering the info, yet alone reviewing it all can be a massive drain on your time which is already at a premium. What if there was a straightforward way to automate this process and reduce your workload?
Luckily, there’s a service designed precisely for that: Property List Ready by Coadjute.
Why is property compliance such a big deal?
Complying with National Trading Standards without the headaches
Compliance isn’t just about ticking boxes; it’s essential to protect your agency and your clients from serious legal issues. Estate agents must follow the National Trading Standards (NTS) guidance, ensuring the accurate and transparent disclosure of all material property information. Failure to adhere to these guidelines isn’t just risky—it can lead to substantial penalties or even legal action.
NTS guidelines require estate agents to disclose essential information about a property upfront to avoid misleading consumers. Part A of this guidance mandates the provision of basic property details, such as price, tenure, and council tax bands, while Parts B and C cover utilities, flood risks, access rights, and other key material information. Non-compliance can lead to legal challenges and delays, and in worst cases fines or reputational damage.
What is Property List Ready?
Digital property onboarding sellers in seconds
Coadjute’s Property List Ready service revolutionises the way estate agents handle property compliance. Instead of endless paperwork and manual checks, this service automatically collects essential property information directly from trusted sources. By automating the process of collecting property information, agents can gather all the information they need to list the property in a matter of seconds, including verifying property ownership to material information.
With built-in Land Registry ownership checks, the process of verifying property details becomes simple and reliable. You no longer need to sift through multiple sources or chase down elusive documents—with Property List Ready it’s done for you.
How does Property List Ready work?
Automated property data collection at your fingertips
The magic of Property List Ready lies in the fact that we do much of the heavy lifting for you.
Here’s what a typical transaction using Property List Ready looks like:
- Estate agent invites the seller: The estate agent sends a secure Assured Compliance invitation to the seller to begin the property onboarding process.
- Seller completes information: Sellers confirm their identity then are guided through completing the Material Information Form (one of our Digital TA Forms), which is pre-populated with information Coadjute automatically retrieves from trusted sources including title deeds, EPCs, planning permissions, etc.
- We verify the information: Coadjute cross-checks all data against HM Land Registry, EPC Register, and other official databases to ensure accuracy and automatically flags any missing or incorrect information. The system ensures all NTS Material Information is fully completed.
- Property is ready for listing: Once verified and signed-off by the seller, estate agents receive a link to the completed Material Information Form and can list the property.
