Every contract your agency sends out as a PDF attachment is one forgeable signature away from a fraud exposure. Yoti Sign adds identity verification to every e-signing request - closing that gap.

Yoti Sign is an e-signing platform built for UK estate agents - combining legally binding electronic signatures with optional biometric identity verification, right to rent checks, and bulk sending capability. It is designed for both small agencies looking to digitalise their signing process and larger networks requiring verified identity confirmation at scale.

The document signing risk in estate agency

Most estate agency contracts are signed by email attachment. Most email attachments cannot verify who actually signed them.

PDF signing and email-based signature collection are the dominant document signing methods in UK estate agency. They are also among the most fraud-vulnerable processes in any property business. A tenancy agreement signed by the wrong person, a terms of business signed by someone other than the property owner, or a contract signed under duress can all unravel transactions and create substantial legal liability.

"A tenancy agreement was signed by someone other than the tenant on the lease."

Without identity verification at the point of signing, you cannot confirm that the person who signed a document is the person whose name appears on it. Yoti Sign's biometric verification closes this gap with a selfie and ID check.

"Right to rent checks are being done manually and the records are inconsistent."

Manual right to rent checks are inconsistent, the documentation storage is unreliable, and the process is time-consuming. Yoti Sign integrates right to rent checks into the e-signing workflow - producing a compliant, consistent, stored record every time.

"Our overseas landlords take three days to return signed contracts by post."

Electronic signatures are legally binding in the UK and EU - and Yoti Sign enables contracts to be signed by overseas parties without postal delays. The process is identical regardless of where the signee is located.

"We send the same document type to hundreds of landlords every quarter but have to send each one manually."

Yoti Sign's bulk send feature allows the same document template to be sent to multiple parties simultaneously. For lease renewals, terms of business updates, or compliance notices, bulk send eliminates hours of manual processing.

How Yoti Sign works for UK estate agents

Six e-signing capabilities that make your document process faster, more compliant, and fraud-resistant.

Yoti Sign is designed to be adopted quickly by your team and experienced seamlessly by your clients. Advanced verification features are opt-in where you need them most.

1

Legally binding e-signatures

Electronic signatures via Yoti Sign are legally binding in the UK, EU, and across many international jurisdictions - enabling contracts to be signed by domestic and overseas parties with full legal force.

2

Biometric identity verification

Optional biometric verification at the point of signing confirms that the person signing is who they claim to be - using a selfie recording matched against their ID document. This adds a verified identity layer to the most high-risk documents.

3

Right to rent checks

Right to rent identity checks are integrated into the Yoti Sign workflow. Lettings teams can complete right to rent compliance as part of the same process as signing the tenancy agreement - producing a consistent, stored compliance record.

4

Custom templates and document management

Build reusable document templates for your most frequently used contracts - tenancy agreements, terms of business, marketing authorisations. Templates with checkboxes, editable text fields, and signing order are all configurable.

5

Bulk send for high-volume signing

Send the same document to multiple parties simultaneously using bulk send. Ideal for seasonal landlord communications, lease renewal rounds, or compliance update notices across your managed portfolio.

6

Custom branding and dedicated account manager

Apply your agency's branding to all signing requests. Every Yoti Sign user gets a dedicated account manager, free training, and ongoing support from the account and technical team.

Frequently asked questions

What estate agents ask about e-signing with Yoti Sign.

Are Yoti Sign electronic signatures legally binding?
Yes. Electronic signatures created via Yoti Sign are legally binding in the UK and across the EU. They are accepted for residential and commercial property documents including tenancy agreements, contracts, and terms of business.
What is biometric verification and when should we use it?
Biometric verification requires the signee to record a short selfie video that is matched against their ID document by Yoti's AI. It adds a verified identity layer to the signing process. We recommend it for tenancy agreements, terms of business, and any document where confirming the signee's identity is important.
How does the right to rent check integration work?
The right to rent check is built into the Yoti Sign workflow for tenancy agreements. The tenant completes their identity verification as part of the signing process, producing a compliant right to rent record stored in your Yoti Sign account alongside the signed document.
How many users does our agency get on each plan?
The £50 per month plan covers up to 10 users. The £200 per month plan covers up to 50 users. Larger networks requiring access for more users can use API plans at £200 per month plus per-document charges.
Can overseas landlords and tenants use Yoti Sign?
Yes. Yoti Sign's electronic signatures are legally binding in multiple jurisdictions beyond the UK. Overseas parties can sign documents from any device without needing to install additional software.
How do we access the Kerfuffle member deal?
Book through this page and your Kerfuffle account manager will introduce you to the Yoti Sign team for a demonstration and member pricing discussion.
