Are your agents spending call time on leads that were never going to convert while high-intent enquiries wait?
Are the key terms in your lease portfolio sitting in PDF files that nobody can query without reading each one?
AI for Real Estate Companies
Leads that go cold because the follow-up was too slow, valuations that take days because someone is pulling comps manually, and leases that sit in a shared drive without being extracted into usable data: these are the operational problems AI solves in real estate.
We build AI systems for residential, commercial, and property management businesses: automated valuation models, lead scoring and conversion prediction, AI-powered property matching, document extraction from leases and contracts, market trend forecasting, rental price optimisation, tenant churn prediction, and AI chatbots for property enquiries. Each system is scoped against your data and a specific operational or revenue target.
Automated property valuations generated in seconds from comparable sales and property attribute data
Lead scores that tell your agents which enquiries to call first, based on conversion likelihood
Lease and contract data extracted automatically so it is searchable and reportable
Rental prices optimised against market demand signals, not last year's asking rate
RaftLabs builds AI systems for real estate companies including automated property valuation models (AVM) trained on comparable sales data, lead scoring and conversion prediction models, AI-powered property search and matching, document extraction from leases and contracts, market trend forecasting, rental price optimisation models, tenant churn prediction, and AI chatbots for property enquiries. Engagements are scoped at a fixed price after a discovery phase that maps your property data, transaction history, and document sets to the specific AI capability being built.
Real estate decisions that move faster when data does
The information gap in real estate is not a shortage of data. Transaction records, property attributes, enquiry logs, lease documents, and market signals exist. The problem is that most of this data sits in formats that require manual work to use: PDF leases, spreadsheet valuations, and CRM notes that nobody searches systematically. AI converts these data assets into operational decisions.
What we build
Automated valuation models
Regression and gradient boosting models trained on comparable sales data in your target market. Produces property value estimates with confidence intervals in seconds. Trained on local transaction data combined with property attribute data. Validated against recent sales before deployment. Applicable to portfolio tracking, initial vendor guidance, mortgage underwriting support, and acquisition screening. Includes explainability output: which comparable transactions and attributes drove the estimate.
Lead scoring and conversion prediction
Classification models trained on your historical enquiry and conversion data. Scores each new lead at intake by conversion likelihood: which enquiries are most likely to result in a viewing, offer, or letting. High-score leads surface to your agents for immediate follow-up. Low-score leads enter automated nurture sequences. Reduces agent time spent on cold leads and improves response time for high-intent enquiries. Requires 6-12 months of enquiry history with known outcomes to train.
AI-powered property search and matching
Semantic search and matching models that go beyond keyword and filter-based search. Understands natural language queries: a buyer who says "quiet street, near good schools, south-facing garden" gets results matched against those attributes rather than a keyword filter returning nothing. Matches buyers and tenants to properties based on stated and inferred preferences from engagement behaviour. Applicable to both external search experiences and internal agent tools for matching buyers to new listings.
Lease and contract document extraction
Document extraction pipelines that read lease and contract documents and extract structured data fields: tenant details, dates, rent, review mechanisms, break clauses, permitted use, and special conditions. Handles PDFs, scanned documents, and varied template formats. Output is searchable and reportable structured data. Makes your lease portfolio queryable without reading each document. Essential for commercial property managers and landlords with large portfolios where manual data extraction is not operationally viable.
Rental price optimisation
Models that recommend rental asking prices based on current market demand signals, comparable listing and transaction data, seasonal patterns, and vacancy risk. Responds to current market conditions rather than historical comparables. Recommends when to adjust price for listings generating insufficient enquiry volume. Helps portfolio managers and lettings agents minimise days-to-let while maintaining rental income. Trained on local market data combined with your historical listing performance.
Tenant churn prediction and AI enquiry chatbots
Tenant churn prediction models that score renewal risk for each tenancy using payment history, maintenance request frequency, engagement with renewal communications, and lease expiry proximity. Surfaces at-risk tenants for proactive outreach before the decision to leave is made. AI chatbots for property enquiries that handle initial qualification questions, book viewings, answer frequently asked property questions, and collect contact details outside business hours. Both systems connect to your CRM via API.

Frequently asked questions
An automated valuation model estimates property value using a regression or gradient boosting model trained on comparable sales data. The model learns the relationship between property attributes and sale price from historical transactions: location, property type, square footage, bedroom and bathroom count, age, condition signals, and proximity to amenity and transport points. At inference, you pass in the property attributes and the model produces a value estimate with a confidence interval. The confidence interval is important: an AVM with a narrow confidence interval for a high-volume, homogeneous property type like urban apartments may be reliable enough to use for initial valuation or portfolio tracking. For heterogeneous properties in markets with thin transaction volumes, the confidence interval widens and the AVM is better used as a starting point for human review rather than a standalone decision. We train AVMs on your local market transaction data combined with public data sources. Accuracy is validated against a holdout set of recent sales before deployment. Most AVMs we build achieve median absolute percentage error of 3-8% for the property types and geographies with sufficient training data.
AI lead scoring in real estate builds a classification model trained on your historical enquiry data: leads that converted to viewings, and viewings that converted to offers or lettings, versus leads that went cold. The model learns which combinations of signals correlate with conversion: enquiry source, property type and price range relative to stated budget, engagement behaviour on your listings (time on page, number of properties viewed, saved searches), time from first enquiry to response, and prior interaction history. Each new enquiry is scored at intake. High-score leads surface to your agents immediately. Low-score leads enter a nurture sequence rather than consuming agent call time. The result is your agents spend their time on the leads most likely to convert, and response time for high-intent enquiries drops because the model identifies them ahead of the queue. For lead scoring to work well, you need enough historical conversion data: typically 6-12 months of enquiries with known outcomes. We assess data availability in discovery.
AI document extraction for real estate leases and contracts extracts the key structured data fields from unstructured document text: tenant name, landlord name, property address, lease start and end date, break clauses and notice periods, rent amount and review schedule, rent review mechanism and CPI cap, permitted use, service charge cap, dilapidations provisions, assignment and subletting rights, and any special conditions. Once extracted, this data is searchable, reportable, and exportable: you can query which leases expire in the next 6 months, which have uncapped rent reviews, which have break clauses approaching. For property managers and commercial landlords managing large lease portfolios, this replaces the process of reading each document manually every time a data point is needed. We build extraction pipelines against your specific lease types and document formats. Accuracy is validated before deployment across the document variation in your portfolio.
Rental price optimisation models recommend asking prices that balance time-to-let against rental income. The model is trained on market data: what similar properties in comparable locations listed at, how long they took to let, and at what rent they ultimately transacted. It incorporates current demand signals: enquiry volume for similar properties, current vacancy rates in the area, and seasonal patterns. At listing, the model recommends a price range: a higher end that maximises income if demand supports it and a lower end that minimises vacancy if the market is softer. The model also recommends when to adjust price if a property is not generating enquiries after a set period. This is different from a static comparable analysis because it responds to current market conditions rather than historical asking prices. For landlords and agents managing large portfolios, price optimisation reduces average days-to-let while maintaining or improving total rental income. We train these models on local market data combined with your historical listing and transaction data.
