Estate agency software has been consolidating for a reason. The best platforms now do everything in one place. Openview by VTUK - now part of iamproperty - is built for exactly that.

Openview was the cloud-based CRM developed by VTUK for UK estate agents, covering sales, lettings, property management and accounts. Following iamproperty's acquisition of VTUK, Openview users are now part of the iamproperty ecosystem - bringing together one of the UK's most complete agency software platforms with one of its most established back-office systems.

The fragmented agency CRM problem

Estate agents running separate systems for sales, lettings and property management spend more time managing their software than managing their clients.

The average UK agency uses between three and five separate tools to run its operation. Every system switch is a context switch. Every re-entry is a risk of error. Every separate login is time your team is not spending on revenue-generating activity.

"Our sales team and lettings team use different systems and never have a complete client picture."

When a landlord has a property on the managed portfolio and another for sale, your teams should see the same client record. Two separate CRMs means two separate views, duplicated data entry and missed cross-sell opportunities.

"We lose time every morning re-entering portal enquiries into our CRM."

Manual re-entry of Rightmove and Zoopla enquiries is one of the most common time sinks in UK estate agency. Every system that does not receive portal leads automatically is adding invisible overhead to your team's morning.

"Our property management team uses a spreadsheet alongside our CRM because it doesn't cover what they need."

Property management has specific requirements - rent schedules, maintenance workflows, safety certificate tracking, landlord statements - that most generalist CRMs handle poorly. The result is hybrid spreadsheet-and-CRM workflows that create audit trail gaps.

"Every time we add a new team member, getting them set up across three systems takes a week."

Multiple logins, multiple training programmes and multiple data sets mean new starters take longer to reach productive output. A single integrated platform cuts onboarding complexity significantly.

What the iamproperty CRM (formerly Openview) delivers

Six capabilities. One connected platform for modern UK estate agency.

The iamproperty CRM - the platform that Openview by VTUK users now operate within - is built to give estate agents full sales, lettings, management and accounts capability in a single system, with over 1,800 automation rules to reduce manual work.

1

Sales and prospecting pipeline

Full sales CRM covering market appraisals, instructions, buyer matching, offer management and sales progression. Built-in prospecting tools give your valuers a live view of local market activity - who is selling, what has sold and at what price.

2

Lettings end to end

Landlord management, tenant matching, referencing workflow, tenancy creation and renewal tracking - all in the same platform as your sales operation. One client record whether they are a buyer, seller, landlord or tenant.

3

Property management

Managed portfolio tracking, rent collection automation, maintenance workflow, inspection scheduling and landlord statements. The management module sits within the same system as lettings so new tenancies require no re-entry between platforms.

4

Integrated client accounts

Client accounting built into the CRM - not bolted on from a separate system. Rent chasing automations, landlord statements, trust account management and HMRC-compliant records, all connected to the same client records your negotiators use every day.

5

Workflow automation (1,800+ rules)

Over 1,800 pre-built automation rules plus the ability to create custom workflows. From automatic portal upload on instruction to automated viewing confirmation texts to rent chasing sequences - the system runs the repetitive parts of your operation without staff input.

6

Client portal (PropertyHub)

A branded client-facing portal that keeps vendors, buyers, landlords and tenants informed without your team manually sending updates. Share progression milestones, documents and key dates in real time - under your agency brand.

Getting set up

From first demo to live agency operation - five steps.

The iamproperty CRM team manages migration from your existing system. Minimal training is needed because the interface is built for people who have never run a CRM before, as well as those who have.

1

Discovery call

Understanding your agency's current systems, workflow and the specific gaps that are costing you time or causing errors. This shapes which modules and automation rules are the right priority for your operation.

2

Data migration

Your existing data - properties, applicants, tenancies, landlords, vendors - is migrated from your current system. The iamproperty team handles the migration process so your team starts with a complete live database.

3

Workflow setup

Automation rules are configured for your agency - portal uploads, applicant matching, viewing confirmations, rent chasing and compliance reminders. The 1,800+ pre-built rules are selected and adjusted to fit your specific processes.

4

Training and go-live

Role-specific training for negotiators, property managers and accounts staff. The interface is designed to require minimal training - most users are productive within their first week.

5

Ongoing development

The platform is updated regularly with new features, integrations and automation rules. As part of the iamproperty ecosystem, users benefit from continued investment in the platform rather than a static product.

Frequently asked questions

What agents ask about the iamproperty CRM before switching.

What happened to Openview by VTUK?
iamproperty acquired VTUK, the company behind Openview, to bring its cloud-based CRM capability into the iamproperty ecosystem. Existing Openview customers are now served within the iamproperty CRM platform, which has expanded the feature set and support team available to them. If you were previously an Openview user or were evaluating it, the iamproperty CRM team is the right contact.
Does the platform handle sales and lettings in the same system?
Yes - sales, lettings, property management and client accounts all operate within a single platform with a shared client database. A landlord who also has a property on the market appears as one client record, not separate entries in separate systems. Your team gets a complete view of every client relationship from one login.
How does the automation work in practice?
The platform includes over 1,800 pre-built automation rules covering common agency workflows - portal uploads on instruction, viewing confirmation texts, applicant follow-up sequences, rent chasing automations, maintenance job creation and more. You can use the pre-built rules as they are, customise them, or create additional rules for processes specific to your agency.
What does migration from our current CRM look like?
The iamproperty CRM team manages migration from your existing system. Your property, client and tenancy data is extracted, cleaned and imported before go-live. The interface is designed to require minimal training - most users describe it as intuitive from day one, which reduces the productivity dip that typically accompanies a system switch.
Does it integrate with Rightmove and Zoopla?
Yes - portal uploads to Rightmove, Zoopla and OnTheMarket are handled automatically from within the CRM. Enquiries from portals feed directly into the system without manual re-entry. Property updates, availability changes and price reductions are pushed to portals from the same instruction record your team works from every day.
How do we access the Kerfuffle member route?
