Reapit Integrates AI Home Move Service for UK Letting Agents
Reapit, a property software provider, has integrated with Just Move In, an AI-driven home move service. The partnership is designed to reduce administrative workload for estate and letting agents while creating new revenue opportunities.
The integration enables movers to use Just Move In’s AI assistant, Jay, or speak to human advisers to manage tasks such as council notifications, broadband setup, utilities, and insurance services. The service also recommends sustainable utility suppliers where available and plants a tree for each mover.
Property Management Implications
The partnership addresses operational challenges in the lettings sector, particularly during change of occupancy and void periods. According to Just Move In, the platform can reduce change of occupancy administration by up to 90%, potentially saving property managers an average of 19 hours per month through automated utility notifications and supplier updates when tenants vacate properties.
The timing of the integration coincides with recent changes to landlord regulations that have increased administrative demands on property managers. Reapit’s software, which supports a significant volume of UK property transactions, aims to streamline processes as tenancy patterns become more volatile.
Revenue Model and Future Development
Agents using the service can earn revenue when utilities and services are purchased through the integration, though specific commission rates have not been disclosed. Future developments are planned, including AI-driven home setup and concierge capabilities, to help agents maintain engagement with tenants and buyers beyond the initial move-in date.
The integration is now available to Reapit’s client base of estate and letting agents across the UK.
