Checked 3 November 2026. Estate agency technology provider iamproperty is promoting One, a connected platform that brings together services across an agency’s workflow. Its commercial promise says users can earn credits towards software costs, potentially reducing those costs to zero.
Property Industry Eye has examined the offer and reported that credits accumulate during an agency’s first year before being used towards software costs in the second year. The publication says personalised proposals are needed to establish the activity required to cover an agency’s bill. These are commercial claims and terms to examine, rather than an assurance of savings for every firm.
The provider’s own website confirms the credit-based proposition. It describes revenue opportunities and the prospect of reducing reliance on multiple systems. Those potential benefits need to be assessed against an agency’s actual costs and transactions.
Start with the full price
Before comparing proposals, list what your agency currently pays for software, implementation, support and connected services. Identify the features used regularly and the costs that would continue after a move. A comparison based on a headline monthly charge can miss overlapping subscriptions or a period when two systems must run together.
Ask for a written illustration of the credit calculation. What activity qualifies, when is a credit earned and when can it be spent? Ask what happens if a transaction does not complete, business volumes fall or the firm changes its mix of services. Separate any estimate from the contractual terms.
Test the workflow as well as the offer
Use a demonstration to follow a realistic instruction through the system. Include the tasks that staff find difficult today, rather than only the provider’s prepared examples. Ask about data export, access permissions, training and the practical work involved in switching.
Clients also need clear explanations when an agency recommends an associated service. Teams should understand their commercial arrangements and obtain appropriate advice on applicable disclosure obligations.
A useful decision records both the expected cost and the assumptions behind it. Revisit those assumptions after implementation. One may suit some agencies’ operating model, but an individual proposal and a realistic workload assessment are needed to judge the offer.
