Proven expertise in property sector access control with installations protecting businesses across the UK.
Our team understands the unique security challenges property businesses face from key management to client data protection. We've designed and installed access control for estate agencies, letting agencies, property management companies, and commercial property consultants across the UK. Every system is configured to meet insurance requirements and GDPR standards whilst integrating seamlessly with property management workflows and diary systems.
Every access control system we install is designed with compliance at its core. We provide comprehensive audit trails for insurance claims and investigations, ensure GDPR compliance for all access data protecting client information, implement key cabinet logging meeting insurance requirements for property access, deliver documentation formatted specifically for regulatory evidence folders, and integrate with property management systems for complete transparency. Your insurance provider and compliance officers will appreciate the clarity and completeness of our access records.
Security systems in real estate businesses must never disrupt operations during busy periods. Our access control designs provide mobile credential management for staff constantly on the move, integrate with property management software for automated access synchronisation, include emergency override capabilities for urgent situations, and maintain comprehensive audit trails for landlord reporting and dispute resolution. We balance security with accessibility, ensuring staff can respond quickly to client needs whilst maintaining secure premises and protecting valuable property keys.
Real estate businesses evolve and your access control should adapt with you. We provide 24/7 emergency support for system failures affecting office access, remote credential management for new starters and leavers, regular system audits ensuring continued compliance with insurance requirements, training for office managers and security staff, and system expansions as your agency opens new branches or relocates offices. Many of our estate agency clients have partnered with us for years, trusting us to maintain and evolve their security infrastructure across multiple locations.
Common questions about real estate access control systems and our implementation services.
Traditional key cabinets have limited accountability - anyone with a key can access any property keys. Our electronic key cabinet systems log every access attempt with timestamp and staff member identification. Each key slot has an individual sensor detecting when keys are removed and returned. The system integrates with your diary software, automatically flagging if keys aren't returned after viewings. Principals can generate reports showing key access patterns, identifying bottlenecks or security concerns. For letting agencies managing hundreds of rental properties, this level of tracking is essential for landlord transparency and protecting against unauthorised property access. Some insurance policies now require electronic key tracking for commercial premises.
Yes, integration with property management systems is a key feature of our solutions. We integrate with leading platforms like Alto, Reapit, and Jupix to synchronise staff records and access permissions automatically. When a viewing is booked in your diary system, temporary access codes can be generated automatically for the viewing room or specific office areas. Key cabinet access logs can be automatically attached to property records, providing complete audit trails for landlords. Our open API architecture ensures compatibility with most major property management platforms, and we can develop custom integrations for bespoke systems. This integration eliminates double data entry and ensures access permissions stay current with staff changes.
Life safety compliance is paramount in our access control designs. All electronically locked doors automatically unlock when the fire alarm activates, ensuring free egress for staff and clients. We use fail-safe electromagnetic locks that release on power loss or fire alarm activation, maintain emergency override capabilities for fire service access, and integrate with emergency lighting and evacuation systems. Manual break-glass units are installed near critical exits for emergency door release. Systems are designed and installed to comply with BS 7273-4 and fire safety regulations whilst maintaining security during normal operations. Regular fire alarm testing automatically validates the integration, providing documented evidence for your insurance and fire risk assessment.
Flexible credential management is essential for real estate businesses with variable workforce requirements. We provide time-limited PIN codes that expire automatically after a specified period, perfect for contractors working on office refurbishments. Cleaners can receive access credentials valid only during their scheduled hours, typically early morning or evening. For temporary staff during busy periods, instant credential provisioning via mobile app allows immediate access without waiting for physical cards. All temporary access is logged comprehensively, providing audit trails showing exactly who was in your office and when. Credentials can be revoked remotely if someone leaves suddenly or a contractor completes work early, ensuring your security isn't compromised by outdated access permissions.
Absolutely. Cloud-based access control is ideal for estate agencies with multiple branches. Principals and operations managers can monitor all locations from a single dashboard, receive instant alerts for unusual access patterns or security events, manage staff credentials across all sites centrally, generate group-wide compliance reports for insurance and regulatory purposes, and remotely unlock doors for staff who've forgotten their credentials. The system works over standard internet connections, requiring no dedicated networks between sites. Real-time synchronisation ensures changes to access permissions propagate instantly across your entire estate. For franchise operations, we can configure hierarchical permissions allowing local branch managers specific control whilst head office retains oversight and audit capabilities.
GDPR requires estate agents to demonstrate appropriate technical measures protecting personal data. Access control provides documented evidence of who accessed areas containing client information. We restrict access to filing rooms, data centres, and administrative areas where client records are stored to only authorised personnel. All access attempts are logged with timestamps and user identification, creating audit trails for GDPR compliance documentation. For ICO investigations or subject access requests, you can produce comprehensive reports showing exactly which staff members accessed specific areas containing personal data. Integration with document management systems provides additional context, correlating physical access to premises with digital access to client records. Many estate agents now consider access control essential infrastructure for GDPR compliance and cyber insurance requirements.
Estate agents need flexible, professional credential options that work for staff constantly moving between office and property viewings. We recommend proximity cards or branded staff ID badges that work without contact, convenient for staff carrying property files and paperwork. Mobile credentials using smartphones provide flexibility for negotiators who may leave physical cards in the office. PIN codes offer backup access if staff forget credentials during viewings. For key cabinets and client data rooms requiring higher security, we implement dual-factor authentication combining card and PIN. Many agencies use existing staff ID badges with MIFARE technology, which we can integrate directly into access control systems, eliminating the need for additional cards. For directors and senior staff, biometric options like fingerprint readers provide convenient, high-security access to financial and sensitive commercial areas.
Yes, we offer comprehensive support contracts tailored to real estate businesses. Our services include 24/7 emergency call-out for system failures affecting office access, remote monitoring and diagnostics to identify issues proactively before they impact operations, regular system health checks and software updates, credential management support for new starters and leavers, annual inspections ensuring continued compliance with insurance requirements, and training refreshers for office managers and security staff. We maintain detailed documentation of all work for insurance claims and warranty compliance. Many of our estate agency clients have partnered with us for years across multiple office relocations and expansions, trusting us to maintain and evolve their security infrastructure as their business grows.
