Residential Agency and Property Management

askporter is a UK-based AI-powered platform purpose-built for housing and facilities management. Where others coordinate manually, askporter automates - repair triage, resident communications, compliance tracking, and field task management, across 486,000+ assets and 12,000+ users in live production. askporter Housing supports housing associations, ALMOs, local authorities, and property managers with automated workflows across resident engagement, repairs, proactive compliance outreach, and safety management - reducing inbound call volume and closing the audit trail that regulators require. askporter Operations enables facilities management companies, commercial property managers, and internal estates teams to move from first report to resolved job without the coordination overhead that typically sits between them. Clients include L&G Affordable Homes and WISAG, one of Europe’s largest facilities management operators. Both products share a common platform and integrate with the asset management, ERP, and compliance systems operators already run - keeping implementation straightforward and time-to-value short. The goal is the same in every deployment: operational teams that spend their time on decisions, not administration.

HomeAlly is a property intelligence platform designed to provide upfront, instant early-stage risk insights for residential properties across England and Wales using government-backed data sources. Built by a practising RICS surveyor, the platform applies a professionally derived rule engine to produce RICS-aligned survey recommendations, age-related construction element risk assessments, and HHSRS-aligned health and safety indicators. HomeAlly serves buyers, tenants and sellers directly through a consumer-facing application, and supports property professionals including surveyors, estate agents, and conveyancers through a developing B2B platform and API layer. All outputs are designed to be fully auditable and explainable, providing consumers and property professionals with transparent early-stage property intelligence aligned with RICS survey standards. HomeAlly is intended to improve transparency and provide earlier visibility of potential property risks, helping to reduce wasted costs, transaction delays and the likelihood of fall-throughs within the residential property market. Beyond pre-purchase risk intelligence, HomeAlly is developing a consumer-facing digital property logbook and maintenance application to support long-term ownership. This includes secure document storage, construction element lifespan guidance, and reminders for inspections, testing and ongoing maintenance throughout the property lifecycle. HomeAlly exists to complement, not replace, professional surveying services, while supporting more informed decision-making across the residential property market.

LettsPay is proud to be recognised as a RICS Tech Partner, helping regulated firms modernise client money operations with greater control, speed and confidence. Unlike systems that rely on scheduled imports, batch processing or delayed reconciliation, LettsPay uses embedded banking technology to process funds as they arrive. Incoming money is identified, allocated and reconciled instantly, giving firms live balances and immediate visibility as rent arrives at the bank. That means finance teams can approve payments as soon as funds are available, including evenings and weekends through UK Faster Payments, without waiting for payment runs or banking hours. For RICS regulated businesses, oversight matters. LettsPay includes clear audit trails, permissions controls and separation of duties, helping reduce manual workload and operational risk. Inbuilt IDV, AML, PEP and sanctions checks support a robust compliance process all in one workflow. LettsPay supports Making Tax Digital through connected landlord and accountant tools, turning future compliance into a stronger client service opportunity. The result is a faster, safer and more transparent process, creating smoother operations for teams, and greater confidence for landlords. If your business is reviewing client accounting, payment delays or MTD readiness, LettsPay welcomes a conversation.

Tempest AI is an artificial intelligence platform built specifically for UK residential block, leasehold and build-to-rent property management. The platform sits as an AI layer above existing property management systems, handling resident communication, compliance obligations and proactive notices at scale. Rather than replacing the systems that agents and operators already use, Tempest works alongside them, removing the manual workload that consumes time without generating revenue. Tempest automates the routine communication and compliance tasks that create operational drag across large portfolios: service charge notices, Section 20 consultations, RRA compliance, building safety obligations and resident queries. It identifies what needs doing, when and to whom, and acts on it without waiting to be asked. At scale, the platform generates portfolio-wide data that shows which building types, specifications and management approaches produce the best outcomes, the lowest service charges and the fewest resident complaints. That data becomes operationally useful immediately and strategically valuable over time. Tempest is currently deployed with the UK's largest RTM operator and is actively expanding across managing agent, BTR and PRS portfolios. Founded by Tony Hymers FRICS, former MD of Ballymore and former Chair of ARMA, with COO Lee Boquan, bringing 22 years of London property operations, and CTO Calvin Liu, former CTO of BlueCity, a NASDAQ-listed technology platform.

Watergate provides smart water management technology that helps property professionals reduce risk, improve efficiency, and support more sustainable building performance. Water damage remains one of the most common and costly issues across the built environment, often caused by hidden leaks, burst pipes, or system failures. At the same time, increasing pressure on water resources means buildings must be managed more efficiently. Watergate addresses both challenges through a connected platform that combines hardware, software, and data analytics. Its solutions continuously monitor water flow, detect abnormal usage patterns, and alert operators to potential leaks in real time. In the event of a major incident, the system can automatically shut off the water supply to prevent further damage. Designed for both new developments and existing buildings, Watergate supports surveyors, asset managers, and facilities teams in improving water risk management and operational performance. Portfolio-level dashboards provide visibility across multiple assets, enabling more informed, data-driven decisions. By helping identify issues earlier and reduce unnecessary water use, Watergate supports more resilient buildings, lower operating costs, and improved environmental performance across residential and commercial property portfolios.
