Everything managers repeatedly recreate

Tools for the everyday work.

Choose a role or management situation and start with a structure designed for estate agency. Adapt it to your brand rather than beginning with a blank page.

Salary and commission tools

Build a clearer package and compare basic salary, realistic OTE, guarantees, car allowances and performance thresholds.

Onboarding plans

Role-specific plans for the first day, first month and first 90 days, with responsibilities, training priorities and review points.

Manager conversations

One-to-one structures, probation reviews, appraisal questions and practical preparation for difficult performance conversations.

Branch performance

Useful KPI trackers, meeting agendas and activity reviews for sales, lettings and property-management teams.

Monthly training pack

A ready-to-run team meeting, practical exercise, manager notes and one new resource delivered every month.

A worked example

What a useful property manager scorecard looks like.

Illustrative sample: ask the candidate to explain a repair from the first report to completion. Look for the steps they personally owned, the approval route and evidence that the issue was resolved.

1 · Prioritisation

Strong evidence: checks urgency, captures the facts and follows the agency’s escalation process. Follow-up: what made this issue more urgent than the other cases?

2 · Ownership

Strong evidence: identifies who approved the work, coordinates access and assigns the next action. Follow-up: what happened when the contractor did not respond?

3 · Communication

Strong evidence: gives clear updates, records commitments and confirms the outcome. Follow-up: how did you know the tenant and landlord understood the next step?

Score each area consistently: 1 = no relevant evidence, 2 = partial example, 3 = clear process and personal action, 4 = clear process plus verified outcome and learning. Use the same questions and standards across candidates.

Questions

What agency owners need to know.

What happens after I pay?

Stripe confirms the payment, then the automated system emails your secure member link. You can create your first editable role pack immediately. Members also see the current manager training pack and receive the next pack automatically each month.

What is included in the monthly toolkit?

Branch members receive up to three role-specific recruitment packs each month, the full editable resource library, manager tools and a new monthly training pack.

Will the documents carry my agency details?

The full toolkit is designed so role, location, salary, tone and agency details can be added to the generated material.

Does this replace recruitment support?

No. It helps agencies manage direct hiring and internal people processes. When a business needs an active search for experienced candidates, Property Careers UK can introduce the appropriate recruitment route.

Is this HR or legal advice?

No. The toolkit provides practical recruitment, onboarding, training and management resources. Employment contracts, formal procedures and legal decisions should be checked with a suitably qualified HR or legal adviser.
