Calibrated on UK 2025–2026 industry data: Propertymark, Alto Software, GetAgent, Rightmove. Conservative speed-to-lead multipliers (capped well below MIT's 21× qualifying-odds figure since that's odds, not closing rate). After-hours capture and speedup lifts are computed separately and summed; some real-world overlap exists between the two and is mitigated by the ±25% scenario range.

Real-estate AI
.
Nine terms that come up on every demo call. Expand any to read the definition; useful when briefing a director, a board, or a CRM admin who hasn't lived in the lead-response weeds.
Portal enquiry
An inbound message from Rightmove, Zoopla or OnTheMarket, usually a buyer asking about availability, viewings or price. Volume is high and unpredictable (peak hits Sunday evening), and the industry's open secret is that roughly one in three never get a reply at all (Kerfuffle, UK 2025). UK volume sits above 1M portal-leads per month across all three portals combined.
The 5-minute cliff
MIT's Lead Response Management Study quantified what every agent feels: contact a lead inside 5 minutes and qualifying odds jump 21× versus a 30-minute reply. The cliff is real because by minute 6 the buyer has already messaged two competitors. Replicated in UK property by GetAgent and Alto in 2025.
After-hours leak
Two in five UK property enquiries (40%) land outside business hours, peaking 8–11pm when buyers are home from work browsing portals (Rightmove, UK 2024). Voicemail-by-default loses these to the first competitor with a 24/7 reply path. Increasingly an AI agent, not a managed-chat human team.
Lead-to-instruction rate
The percentage of inbound enquiries that turn into a signed agency agreement (an instruction). UK average sits at 5–7%. Faster reply plus AI pre-qualification typically lifts this to 9–12%, mostly by closing the after-hours leak and the 5-minute cliff. It's the single most useful conversion metric for vendor-side comparison across teams.
Vendor leads vs buyer leads
Vendor leads are sellers wanting valuations or considering instructing an agent. Buyer leads are people enquiring about a specific property. Vendor leads convert 2–3× higher in commission terms but arrive at a lower volume. AI can route them down separate qualification paths from message one. Important if you split branches by transaction type.
Speed-to-first-reply
The metric portals and conversion studies care about: time from enquiry submission to the first message back, regardless of whether that message is a full answer. Some agencies game this with auto-responders; AI replaces that with a useful first reply that actually qualifies. The two metrics (first-reply and first-qualified-reply) increasingly converge.
Lead nurture window
The 0–72 hour window after an enquiry where buyer intent is highest. Conversion drops roughly 80% past 72 hours. AI keeps nurture alive across this entire window (sending follow-ups, answering qualifying questions, booking viewings) without requiring a human to remember Tuesday afternoon's lead on Friday morning.
AI knowledge base
The set of sources your AI agent draws answers from: typically your website, your CRM data, and any documents you upload (brochures, planning info, fee schedules). You control what's in and what's out. With Clevaa, retraining takes 30 seconds. Paste a URL and the agent re-reads. For high-stakes content (price commitments) you can require approval rules.
CRM webhook integration
A real-time API event that fires the moment a lead is created in your AI's chat, pre-populating Reapit, Alto, Street.co.uk, Salesforce, HubSpot, or Pipedrive automatically. No CSV exports, no manual data entry, no daily reconciliation. The lead lands in the agent's pipeline with intent + qualifying answers already attached.
Eight metrics. Three options.
.
The lead-response market splits three ways for estate agencies. Manual is free but office-hours only. Managed-chat (Yomdel, Moneypenny, c4b fusion) goes 24/7 but charges per-handoff and takes a 15-minute discovery call plus 2-week onboarding before going live. Clevaa AI is fast, flat-rate, multilingual, EU-hosted, and live in 30 seconds. Same eight rows, like-for-like.

What estate agents ask
The questions estate agents ask on every demo call: how Clevaa stacks up against Yomdel, Moneypenny, Yield, Norango and Tidio; portal-enquiry response time; Reapit, Alto, and Street.co.uk CRM integration; multilingual buyer support; GDPR posture; and the 30-second setup. Direct answers below, no fluff.
How does Clevaa compare to Yomdel and Moneypenny managed-chat services?
Yomdel and Moneypenny are human-assisted chat or voice retainers (typically £400–1,500/month), with per-handoff fees on top. Clevaa is your own AI agent: flat-rate from £99/mo, no per-conversation fees, on every channel 24/7. Same speed-to-first-reply, radically different cost. Plenty of agencies run both: Yomdel or Moneypenny for daytime humans, Clevaa for overnight, weekends, and overseas-buyer cover.
What about AI-only bots like Yield, Norango, or instep.ai?
Yield (DeployIQ) is Reapit-CRM-native at £179 to £779/mo, UK-only language. Norango is a hybrid AI plus UK live agents from £69.95/mo, also UK-only language. instep.ai is property-purpose-built (voice, WhatsApp, web), funded March 2026, early stage. Clevaa's wedge: 12+ languages at the same £99/mo price tier, 30-second setup (paste URL, done), flat-rate forever, and works with any CRM you own, not tied to one vendor's stack.
Are there hidden fees, like Tidio's add-on stack?
No. £99/mo covers everything: voice, text, WhatsApp, all 12+ languages, every conversation. No per-conversation fees, no upgrade-to-flows surcharge, no branding-removal fee. For comparison: Tidio's listed $59 plan typically lands at $150 to $200/mo once Lyro AI ($39+), Flows ($29+), and branding-removal ($20) are added. Yomdel and Moneypenny charge £3 to £6 per human handoff on top of retainer. With Clevaa, what you see on the pricing page is what you pay.
Will it sound like a robot, or like my brand?
Like your brand. The agent reads your website to learn tone, and you tune voice across 12 dimensions (formality, warmth, urgency, language). Customers tell us it sounds like a junior negotiator who already knows the patch, not a chatbot.
How fast does Clevaa respond to portal enquiries?
Under 60 seconds, even at 11pm on a Saturday. The agent acknowledges, qualifies in natural conversation, and confirms a viewing slot before the lead drifts to a competitor. UK industry average is 2.5 hours; the 5-minute conversion cliff is where qualifying odds collapse 21×. Clevaa is well inside it on every channel.
What if the agent gives wrong information about a property?
The agent learns only from your website, your CRM, and docs you upload. You control the knowledge base. Every conversation logs intent + next steps for instant audit. Mistakes show up immediately and you can retrain in 30 seconds. For high-stakes queries (price commitments, legal terms) we recommend an approval rule before the reply goes out.
Does it integrate with Reapit, Alto, and Street.co.uk?
Native integrations ship early Q3 2026. In the meantime, every conversation webhooks into your CRM (Reapit, Alto, Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive) to pre-populate lead records. Works today, zero waiting. Book a partner call to join early-access if you want priority support.
What about international buyers? Does it work in their language?
Yes. 12+ languages including EN, DE, FR, ES, IT, NL, PL, PT, and Arabic. The agent detects the buyer's language and replies natively, then reports back to you in English. 76% of overseas buyers prefer native-language replies, a hard conversion lift for UK agencies with international portals or DACH exposure.
How long does setup take? Do I need a developer?
30 seconds. Paste your website URL. Clevaa extracts your brand colours, products, and business overview automatically. Drop one script tag before your closing </body> (WordPress, Squarespace, Webflow, custom HTML). No developer, no API keys, no tech knowledge needed.
