The viewing problem

Buyers arrive late, stressed and at the wrong entrance. It is a small thing that damages a big moment.

A property viewing is often the first time a buyer experiences the home in person. When they cannot find the entrance, the flat number, the correct parking bay or the development office, they arrive flustered - and that emotional state colours the entire viewing. Postcodes are not precise enough for apartment blocks, new builds, rural properties or large developments.

"The buyer spent 20 minutes trying to find the communal entrance. They never bought."

Frantic phone calls, wrong turns and parking frustration do not put buyers in the right frame of mind to fall in love with a property. First impressions include the experience of arriving.

"Our new-build plots do not have postcodes yet. Viewers keep getting lost."

New developments are invisible to traditional navigation apps until postcodes are registered. what3words addresses work from day one, whether the postcode exists or not.

"We wasted two hours on a viewing day coordinating photographers, stagers and the cleaner."

Every person attending a property - tradespeople, photographers, inventory clerks - needs to find the precise access point. Sharing a what3words address replaces multiple calls and confusing directions.

"Our multi-unit block has six different entrances. The buyer went to the wrong building."

Large apartment blocks, mixed-use developments and estates with multiple access points all need precise location sharing. Postcodes point to the general area, not the specific door.

How what3words works for estate agents

Six ways precise location changes how your agency operates.

what3words addresses work alongside whatever systems you already use - add them to listing descriptions, viewing confirmations, WhatsApp messages or directly through CRM integrations.

1

Precise viewing directions

Add the what3words address for a property's exact entrance to viewing confirmation emails and listing pages. Buyers navigate directly to the right door using the free what3words app - no phone calls for directions, no late arrivals, no wrong-entrance confusion.

2

New build and off-plan plot locations

New-build developments often lack postcodes. what3words addresses work immediately and can be assigned to individual plots, show homes, the sales office and different building entrances within the same development before a single postcode is registered.

3

Rural and unique properties

Properties without a conventional street address - farms, barn conversions, rural lets, private estates - can be found precisely by buyers and tenants using a three-word address that points to exactly the right gate or access track.

4

Operational efficiency

Share what3words addresses with photographers, inventory clerks, stagers, tradespeople and viewings coordinators. One address, shared by message, gets everyone to the right spot without your team spending time on directions.

5

CRM and portal integration

what3words integrates directly with Dezrez, Property Hive, Apex27 and My State MLS. Properties can be assigned what3words addresses within existing workflows, and the address is published automatically to listings without additional manual steps.

6

Listing descriptions and marketing

Add what3words addresses to property brochures, portal listings, window cards and social posts. It is a distinctive, modern detail that also happens to make your properties easier to find - useful for rural and hard-to-locate properties in particular.

How to get started with what3words

From first property to agency-wide implementation in five steps.

Using what3words requires no contract and no major technology change. Most agents start with their listings and roll out from there.

1

Find your property addresses

Use the free what3words app or website to find the three-word address for each property's exact access point - the front door, communal entrance, parking bay or development office. Take a screenshot or copy the address.

2

Add to your listings

Include the what3words address in listing descriptions, on portal pages and in viewing confirmation emails. Buyers click the link to open navigation in the what3words app or Google Maps.

3

Share with viewers and tradespeople

When confirming viewings, include the what3words address alongside the postcode. Do the same for photographers, inventory clerks, mortgage valuers and anyone else attending the property.

4

Integrate with your CRM

If you use Dezrez, Property Hive, Apex27 or a compatible system, set up the what3words integration to assign addresses to properties within your existing workflow and publish them automatically.

5

Roll out across your branch

Brief your team on using what3words for every new listing. It takes thirty seconds per property and removes one of the most common friction points in the viewing process - where do I go exactly?

Frequently asked questions

Common questions from estate agents.

Does what3words work in the UK everywhere?
Yes. what3words has assigned a unique three-word address to every 3-metre square on earth, including the full UK. Both urban and rural properties can be precisely located. Areas without postcodes - new builds, rural estates, off-plan developments - are particularly well served since the address does not depend on the postal system.
How does a buyer navigate using a what3words address?
The buyer receives the three-word address and taps it to open the free what3words app (iOS and Android), which navigates them directly to that exact 3-metre square. The address also opens in Google Maps and other navigation apps. No account is required to navigate.
Which CRMs integrate with what3words?
what3words currently integrates directly with Dezrez, Property Hive, Apex27 and My State MLS. Properties in these systems can be assigned what3words addresses and have them published to listings automatically. Agents using other systems can add what3words addresses manually to listing descriptions and confirmation emails.
Does it cost anything to use what3words as an agent?
The what3words app and address sharing are free to use. The company offers business API access and custom integrations for developers and larger businesses. Most estate agents can start using what3words immediately at no cost.
How is what3words useful for new-build developments?
New-build developments often lack registered postcodes before occupation. what3words addresses can be assigned to individual plots, the show home, the sales office and different building entrances from day one. Buyers and their representatives navigate precisely without waiting for the postcode system to catch up.
