Product updates, and notes on how we think about running lettings — written by the person building it, from inside a working portfolio.

A new occupant can join a tenancy without a single forwarded email

Households change after move-in more than people expect — a partner moves in, a flatmate is replaced, a guarantor needs the same documents the tenant already has. An approved profile locks the moment a tenancy starts; adding someone new is a different, controlled action.

Vetting applicants without a namesake ruining someone's week

The RTB dispute register and the bankruptcy register are both searched by name only. A hit doesn't mean it's your applicant — so every match gets an AI opinion on whether it's likely the same person, with its reasoning shown.

Every application now opens already reviewed

The AI Review tab reads the household and its documents so a reviewer sees what to chase without opening a single PDF first — a summary, an affordability check, and a figure-by-figure document cross-check.

One booking link, and the diary keeps itself in sync

Share a single live link for a viewing, let applicants pick a slot from real availability, and every booking lands as a calendar event with an ICS invite. No back-and-forth.

Why I built Real Enquiries

I run a lettings portfolio and got tired of stitching five tools together to move one enquiry to a signed tenancy. Real Enquiries is the system I wanted — built for Irish rules, from inside the day job.
