The short answer
What should an estate agent's website include?
An estate agent's website should make booking a valuation easy from every page, show your fees or how you charge, your redress scheme and, for letting agents, client money protection, plus recent sales or lets, local reviews and the areas you cover. Listings can link to the portals or a feed from your software. Ours start at £49 a month with no contract.

What an estate agent's website needs
Four things I put on every estate agency website, because they're what win instructions.
- Valuation request forms on every page
The address, sale or let, and timescale. It's the enquiry that pays the bills, so it should never be more than a tap away.
- Property listings or portal links
A few current properties linking to the full details on your portal or CRM pages, so vendors can see you're active.
- Reviews and sold or let proof
Google reviews, recent sales and lets, and how long they took. Vendors want evidence you can sell their kind of home.
- Fees, redress and client money protection
What you charge and what's included, your redress scheme and, if you let property, your CMP scheme.

What an agent's website is really for
Most buyers and tenants search on Rightmove, Zoopla or OnTheMarket, and that isn't going to change. Where your own site earns its keep is with the people who pay your fees. Someone thinking of selling or letting will usually look up two or three local agents, check their fees, reviews and recent sales, then book valuations.
So the job of an estate agent website is to win instructions. That means a valuation request that's easy to find and quick to fill in, local proof that you sell and let property on their street, and straight answers about fees and how you work. A full property search is nice to have, but the valuation form is what brings in the business.
What to put on an estate agency website
The pages vendors and landlords look for. Send me the details and I'll write them up.
-
A short valuation form
Address, property type, sale or let, and timescale. Keep it short and put it on every page.
-
Redress and memberships
Your redress scheme, The Property Ombudsman or the Property Redress Scheme, and any Propertymark membership you hold.
-
Client money protection
If you let property in England and hold client money, your CMP scheme and certificate belong on the site.
-
Fees and what's included
Sales commission or fixed fee, lettings and management fees. Letting fees should be shown including VAT.
-
Area guides that are actually useful
Schools, transport, what sells and the streets people ask about. Written from your local knowledge, not copied from elsewhere.
-
A landlord page
Tenant find, full management, compliance and what each costs. Landlords compare these line by line.
See an estate agent website with your agency's name
The live estate agent template is built to win valuations rather than compete with the portals. Type your agency's name at the top of the page to see it filled in.
What to notice
- “Book a free valuation” is the main button, not “Search properties”
- Redress, Propertymark and client money protection each have a slot near the top
- Recently listed homes show vendors you're active on their patch
Property web specialist, CRM website or a monthly plan
Independent agents usually weigh up three routes. What each is good at, honestly.
| Property web specialist | CRM website add-on | MonthlySite | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | Typically £2,000 to £8,000 | Varies by provider | £0 |
| Property search | Built in, fed by your CRM | Built in | Portal links, or a feed if available |
| Design | Made for you | Usually a template | Made for you, 3 styles |
| Changes | Often quoted per job | You, in the CRM | Email or WhatsApp me |
| Contract | Often a minimum term | Tied to your CRM | None |
Figures are typical UK ranges for an independent agency, not quotes.
If a live property search on your own site matters most, a CRM-fed website from your software provider or a property web specialist is the right tool. If you mainly need to win valuations and look credible, a monthly plan does that for much less.

Getting found by local sellers and landlords
Vendors and landlords search things like “estate agents in Didsbury” or “letting agents near me”, and Google often shows a map of local agents first. Your Google Business Profile, your reviews and how close you are drive most of that. Useful area guides and a clear valuation page support it.
Growth includes Google Business Profile setup and local SEO. Pro adds a page for each area you cover, written for that area, which suits agents covering several villages or districts. I don't promise rankings, and I'd be wary of anyone who does.

Questions estate agents ask
Message CharlieI reply within one working dayAsk me on WhatsApp (opens WhatsApp in a new tab)
Can you show our property listings on the website?
Yes, in one of two ways. We can link to your listings on the portals or your CRM's own property pages, or, if your software provides a search or feed you can embed, I can usually add it. A full property search built from scratch isn't part of our plans.
Do letting agents have to show their fees on their website?
In England, yes. Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, letting agents must publish their fees, including VAT, on their website, along with their redress scheme and whether they belong to a client money protection scheme. Check the current rules if you work in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland.
Do estate agents still need their own website if buyers use Rightmove?
Buyers mostly do use the portals. Sellers and landlords are different: they look up agents before booking valuations, and your website is where they compare your fees, reviews and results. It's also the one place online where you're not a listing among many.
Can the valuation form send leads straight to our CRM?
It sends each request straight to your email, which many CRMs can pick up or you can forward. A direct link into a specific CRM depends on your provider, so tell me what you use and I'll say honestly whether it's possible.
How long does an estate agent website take to set up?
Your site goes live within 1 working day of your answers to a few quick questions: fees, memberships, areas, a few recent sales and your portal or CRM links. If you're moving from an old site, I'll move your domain across so the address stays the same.
Can you write area guides for the towns we cover?
Yes, using your local knowledge. You tell me what buyers and tenants ask about each area, what sells and what's changing, and I write it up. Pro includes a page for each area you cover, each written for that place rather than copied.
Let's see your estate agency website.
