The IT problem in estate agency

Most estate agencies treat IT as a cost to be minimised - until the day it fails at the worst possible moment.

Estate agency is a technology-dependent business. Your CRM, your portal integrations, your communication tools, your compliance record-keeping, your remote working capability, and your client-facing systems all run on IT infrastructure that requires proactive management to be reliable. Reactive IT support - fixing things after they break - is the model that leaves agencies exposed. Proactive IT management is the model that keeps agencies running.

Reactive IT support means you pay every time something breaks

Call-out based IT support means your team loses hours every time a device, system, or network issue surfaces. The cost is not just the support call - it is the negotiator who cannot access the CRM, the property manager who cannot send a tenancy agreement, the valuer whose laptop fails before a client meeting. Proactive IT management prevents failures before they happen.

Cyber security threats are increasing and estate agencies are targets

Estate agents handle sensitive personal and financial data, process payments, and maintain client records that are valuable to attackers. Phishing, ransomware, and business email compromise are the most common attacks on UK SMEs. Without properly configured network security, endpoint protection, and user awareness, your agency is a soft target with significant regulatory exposure under GDPR.

Microsoft 365 is often not configured correctly for estate agency workflows

Most estate agencies use Microsoft 365 but few are configured to get the full operational benefit from it. Shared mailboxes that cause compliance issues, Teams deployments that are not properly integrated with CRM platforms, email security settings that leave staff exposed to phishing attacks, and backup configurations that do not adequately protect client data are all common in agencies that set up 365 without specialist IT support.

Remote and hybrid working requires infrastructure that most agencies have not properly built

Negotiators working from home, property managers on site, branch managers at multiple offices - the modern estate agency team works from multiple locations and devices. Supporting that working model securely requires properly configured cloud access, secure remote desktop or VPN solutions, and device management that extends to personal devices used for work. Ad hoc remote working setups create security gaps and operational inconsistency.

How XPS Solutions works for estate agents

All-inclusive IT support that covers the user, not just the device. Proactive management. Microsoft 365, cloud, security, and network from one specialist team.

XPS Solutions provides a complete range of professional IT services for estate and letting agencies. Unlike conventional break-fix IT support, XPS covers the user - meaning every device that user works from is covered under a single all-inclusive agreement. The XPS team is proactive, not reactive - monitoring and managing IT infrastructure to prevent issues before they affect your team. One supplier. One call. Everything covered.

1

All-inclusive IT support - user, not device

XPS covers the user, not the device. This means that if a team member is supported by XPS, their laptop, desktop, mobile, tablet, and any other device they use for work are all included under the one agreement. Negotiators, property managers, administrators, and directors all have consistent, proactive IT support without per-device or per-call charging. All-inclusive support is available from as little as just £1 per user per day.

2

Microsoft 365 - implementation, configuration and management

XPS provides Microsoft 365 implementation, migration, configuration, and ongoing management for estate agencies. This includes correct setup of shared mailboxes, calendar sharing, Teams integration with your agency workflow, SharePoint for document management, and email security policies that protect your team from phishing attacks. Microsoft 365 configuration that works properly for an estate agency is different from the default setup - XPS understands those differences.

3

Cloud services and remote management

XPS provides cloud service solutions and remote management and monitoring for estate agency IT environments. Cloud migration, secure remote access, and the infrastructure required to support a team working from multiple locations and devices are all managed by the XPS team. Remote management means XPS can identify and resolve many issues before your team is aware of them - without requiring a call to be raised.

4

Network security and cyber protection

XPS provides network security for estate agencies including firewall management, endpoint protection, email security configuration, and the policies and monitoring required to maintain a defensible security posture under GDPR. Estate agents handle sensitive personal and financial data - the network security configuration needs to reflect that. XPS designs and manages security appropriate for the risk profile of a regulated property business.

5

Hardware supply and lifecycle management

XPS provides hardware and software procurement, with partnerships including Microsoft, HP, Dell, Cisco, and Apple. This means your agency can source the devices and software your team needs through the same supplier who manages and supports them - with XPS handling configuration, deployment, and ongoing management as part of the all-inclusive agreement. No separate hardware conversations. No compatibility questions between supplier and support team.

6

Backup, recovery, and business continuity

XPS provides backup and recovery services to protect estate agency data against both technical failure and security incidents. Properly configured backup for a property business covers CRM data, email, shared drives, and the compliance records that regulatory bodies and professional indemnity insurers require to be retained. Business continuity planning ensures that in the event of a serious incident your agency can continue operating within defined recovery time objectives.

Getting started with XPS Solutions

From IT audit to fully managed, proactive IT support - with a team that understands estate agency operations.

XPS Solutions begins every engagement with an assessment of the current IT environment to understand what is in place, what is missing, and what the risks are before making recommendations. No assumptions. No generic proposals.

1

IT environment assessment

XPS conducts an initial assessment of the agency's current IT environment - devices, software, network, security configuration, and Microsoft 365 setup. The assessment identifies the gaps between the current state and a properly managed, secure IT environment for a regulated property business.

2

Tailored IT support proposal

Based on the assessment, XPS produces a tailored IT support proposal covering the services, devices, and users to be included under the all-inclusive agreement. The proposal covers the full scope - support, security, Microsoft 365, cloud services, and hardware - with pricing transparent against what each element covers.

3

Onboarding and configuration

XPS onboards the agency onto the managed IT service. Devices are enrolled, Microsoft 365 is configured correctly, security policies are applied, remote monitoring is activated, and backup is configured. The onboarding is managed by the XPS team with minimal disruption to the agency's day-to-day operations.

4

Proactive monitoring and ongoing support

From go-live, XPS monitors the agency's IT environment proactively. Issues are identified and resolved before they affect the team. Support requests are handled by the XPS engineers who know your specific environment. One call, one supplier, everything covered - so your team focuses on property, not IT problems.

Frequently asked questions

Questions estate agents ask before they switch to XPS Solutions.

What does all-inclusive IT support that covers the user mean in practice?
Conventional IT support agreements cover devices - a desktop computer or a laptop is enrolled, and support calls relating to that specific device are included. XPS covers the user, not the device. This means that if a team member is supported under the XPS agreement, every device they work from - their office desktop, their home laptop, their work mobile, their tablet - is covered. When someone calls for support it does not matter which device they are on. One agreement covers the person wherever they are working and on whatever device they are using.
What does proactive IT management mean for our day-to-day operations?
Proactive IT management means XPS monitors your IT environment continuously - network performance, device health, security alerts, software vulnerabilities, and backup status are all monitored in real time. When a potential issue is identified the XPS team investigates and resolves it before it affects your team's ability to work. Reactive support means calling XPS when something has already gone wrong. Proactive management means XPS has often identified and resolved the same issue before you were aware of it.
We are already using Microsoft 365 - why would we need XPS to manage it?
Most estate agencies using Microsoft 365 are using it at a fraction of its capability and often with configuration gaps that create security risks or operational inefficiencies. Common issues include email security settings that do not adequately protect against phishing, shared mailbox configurations that create compliance problems, backup configurations that do not properly protect data under a Microsoft 365 standard licence, and Teams deployments that are not integrated with the agency's workflow. XPS audits the current 365 configuration and implements the settings appropriate for a regulated property business.
What cyber security risks are specific to estate agencies?
Estate agents handle personally identifiable information, client financial data, and payment processing - all of which are attractive targets for cyber attacks. Business email compromise is the highest-risk attack vector for estate agencies, where attackers intercept email communication to redirect financial transactions. Phishing attacks targeting negotiators and administrators are common. GDPR requires estate agents to demonstrate that client data is handled securely and that reasonable technical measures are in place to protect it. A network security configuration appropriate for a regulated property business is significantly more robust than default settings.
Does XPS work with estate agencies that have multiple branches?
Yes. XPS provides IT support for estate agencies across multiple sites. Multi-branch support is covered under a single agreement, with the XPS team managing the IT environment across all locations. This includes consistent network security configuration across branches, centralised device management, and a single support contact for the whole organisation. XPS also covers remote working - negotiators and managers who work between sites or from home are covered under the same user-based agreement.
What hardware brands and platforms does XPS support?
XPS holds partnerships with Microsoft, HP, Dell, Cisco, and Apple. This means XPS can supply, configure, and support devices from all major manufacturers under a single agreement. Estate agencies operating mixed environments - Windows laptops and Apple Macs, for example - are fully supported. XPS can also supply new hardware through its partner network, with devices configured and enrolled before they reach the team member.
How do Kerfuffle members access XPS Solutions?

Your Kerfuffle account manager will facilitate the introduction to the XPS team, who will conduct an initial assessment of your current IT environment and produce a tailored proposal covering the services and users to be included under the all-inclusive agreement.
