Major agency splashes out on five year tech upgrade programme
Summary
Spicerhaart has launched a new property management platform after a two-year development programme and says it will invest £1.7m over five years in technology. The system is intended to improve compliance handling, support landlords through regulatory change, and replace a legacy platform that no longer met the firm's needs.
Why it matters
For residential property surveyors working alongside landlords, agents and property managers, this highlights the growing use of technology to manage compliance and tenancy processes. It also reflects the operational impact of changing rental legislation, including the Renters Rights Act, on property management workflows.
Key points
- Spicerhaart is investing £1.7m in technology over five years.
- A new Rex Property Management system has been launched across the business.
- The platform is paired with a Compliance and Pre-Tenancy Centre of Excellence.
- The system is designed to help identify issues earlier and support compliance with changing legislation.
- The legacy system was replaced because it lacked scale, automation and flexibility.
