Book More Property Viewings

Buyers often browse Rightmove in the evening. When they call to book a viewing, reaching voicemail means they'll try another agent. Voco captures these leads and books viewings while you're off the clock.

The Problem Estate Agents Face

Missed enquiries go straight to a competitor

Buyers and tenants searching online will call multiple agencies at the same time. If you don't answer first, the viewing and the commission go elsewhere.

Out-of-hours calls go unanswered

Most property searches happen in evenings and weekends when your office is closed. That's when your busiest prospective clients are trying to reach you.

Admin calls swamp your negotiators

Maintenance requests, appointment confirmations, and general enquiries take negotiators away from valuations and viewings, the work that actually generates revenue.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Voco handle property viewing requests?
Yes. Voco qualifies the caller's requirements, checks availability, and books viewings directly into your calendar. It captures the property they're interested in, their buying or renting position, and their preferred viewing times.
How much does an answering service for estate agents cost?
Voco offers monthly plans from £49 with 75 calls included, or a pay-as-you-go option with no monthly fee for agencies with variable call volumes. Traditional human answering services typically cost £150 to £500/month. No contracts and no setup fees on any Voco plan.
Will Voco work outside our office hours?
Voco operates 24/7, 365 days a year. Evening and weekend enquiries are captured and transcribed so your team can follow up first thing, before the lead goes to a competitor.
Can Voco handle calls for both sales and lettings?
Yes. You can configure Voco to handle sales enquiries, lettings enquiries, landlord calls, maintenance requests, and general agency queries, routing each to the right person on your team.

How Voco works alongside your agency team

Voco is not a replacement for your negotiators or client-facing staff. It's a layer of cover that ensures no call goes unanswered when your team is on viewings, with clients, or unavailable outside office hours. Your team continues managing relationships and closing deals. Voco makes sure every enquiry reaches them.

Why estate agents can't afford to miss calls

Property is one of the most competitive enquiry markets in the UK. A buyer or tenant searching online will call two or three agencies at the same time and instruct the one that responds first. For most agencies, that window is minutes, not hours. Voco ensures your agency is always the one that answers, even when your team is busy.

The out-of-hours problem for property agencies

Research consistently shows that the highest volume of property searches happens between 6pm and 9pm on weekdays and throughout the weekend, exactly when most agency offices are closed or running on reduced staff. Every missed evening call is a viewing that didn't get booked, a vendor who called a competitor, or a landlord who instructed someone else. Voco covers those hours so your team can pick up with full context the next morning.

What Voco handles for estate and letting agents

Voco manages the full range of inbound property calls: buyer and tenant enquiries, viewing booking requests, valuation enquiries from vendors and landlords, maintenance calls from tenants, appointment confirmations, and general agency queries. It also works as an answering service for landlords who need consistent, professional handling of their calls outside your office hours. Each call ends with a structured transcript sent to the right person on your team, including property address, caller details, their position in the market (first-time buyer, chain-free, cash buyer), and any urgency.

AI receptionist vs outsourced receptionists for estate agents

Outsourced receptionists for estate agents typically cost £150 to £500 per month, operate on fixed hours, and hand over messages with delays. Voco operates 24/7, books viewings directly into your diary, and sends structured transcripts within seconds. For agencies handling a high volume of inbound calls, Voco provides consistent coverage at a fraction of the cost of a fully outsourced reception team, without removing the personal touch your staff bring to client relationships.

Flexible pricing to match your agency

Voco offers monthly plans from £49 with 75 calls included, suitable for agencies with consistent inbound volume. If your call flow varies by season or campaign, the pay-as-you-go option has no monthly fee and you pay per minute. Both plans include the same AI quality, calendar integration, and instant transcripts. Compare plans.
