The agency software problem

The wrong software slows your team, frustrates your clients, and costs you instructions.

Estate agencies across the UK are running on tools that were not designed for the way modern property businesses operate. Chimni is built specifically for the challenges estate agents face every day.

Your current system creates work rather than removing it

Every workaround your team has built around your software is time that should be spent on valuations and viewings. The right property software removes friction, not adds it.

You cannot see what your team is doing in real time

Without visibility across your pipeline, instructions fall through the cracks and follow-up happens too late. Agents need a system that surfaces the right action at the right moment.

Onboarding a new negotiator takes weeks not days

Complex, unintuitive software means new starters take months to become productive. That is a direct cost to your agency in lost instructions during the ramp-up period.

Your data sits in multiple disconnected systems

When your CRM, your portal feeds, your email, and your accounts do not talk to each other, you spend your day reconciling information rather than winning business.

How Chimni works for estate agents

Six capabilities that run your agency from valuation to completion.

Chimni is built for the workflow of a UK estate or letting agency. Each module addresses a specific operational challenge - together they give you a complete picture of your business.

1

Pipeline and instruction management

A complete view of every active instruction from first contact to completion. Chimni surfaces the right actions at the right time so nothing falls through the cracks.

2

Contact and client database

A structured, searchable database of every vendor, buyer, landlord, and tenant your agency has ever worked with. The foundation of every prospecting and retention activity.

3

Automated communication sequences

Pre-configured communication workflows that keep your clients informed without manual intervention. Every viewings confirmation, offer update, and progression chase runs automatically.

4

Reporting and performance analytics

Branch-level and negotiator-level reporting that tells you exactly how your business is performing - instructions won, conversion rates, average fees, source of business, and time to complete.

5

Portal and listing integration

Chimni integrates with the major property portals so listings are uploaded, updated, and maintained from one system. No duplicate data entry, no portal-specific logins for routine tasks.

6

Compliance and audit trails

Every action, communication, and document stored with a complete audit trail. AML checks, ID verification, and material information requirements managed within the system.

Getting started with Chimni

From first call to fully onboarded - five steps.

Chimni manages the implementation so your team transitions smoothly and starts seeing results quickly.

1

Discovery and requirements

A scoping call with the Chimni team covers your agency structure, current systems, and the specific outcomes you want to achieve. The implementation plan is built around your requirements, not a standard template.

2

Configuration and setup

Chimni is configured for your agency - your branches, your workflows, your branding, and your integration requirements. This is done by the Chimni team, not by you.

3

Data migration

Your existing data - client records, property history, pipeline status - is migrated into Chimni. Clean data in from day one, no manual re-entry by your team.

4

Team training

Role-specific training for every member of your team who will use Chimni. Negotiators, managers, and back-office staff all trained on the functions relevant to their role.

5

Go live and ongoing support

Your agency goes live with Chimni with the support team available for questions. Ongoing support is provided through your dedicated account manager.
