New AI tool to cut certificate renewal admin. Alto is launching AutoCert, a new feature that automates gas safety, EPC and EICR certificate renewals, helping agents manage regulatory risk. Alto has launched an AI-powered compliance tool designed to automate important property certificate renewals, reducing the administrative burden on letting agents while helping to minimise compliance risk. The new feature, AutoCert, is powered by Aguru and is integrated directly into Alto's CRM platform. It manages the renewal process for gas safety certificates initially, with EICRs, EPCs and PAT testing set to follow. AutoCert continuously monitors managed portfolios for certificates approaching expiry before automatically coordinating the renewal process. It contacts landlords, tenants and contractors, schedules appointments, validates returned certificates, uploads documentation into Alto, processes invoices, raises charges and updates property records. Unlike some automated compliance systems, Alto says the platform allows agents to continue working with their existing contractors and suppliers. Significant time saved. The company estimates the technology can reduce administration time for each certificate renewal by around 80%, saving more than 70 hours per branch each year for agencies managing large portfolios. The launch comes as letting agents continue to face increasing compliance responsibilities, with missed gas safety inspections or expired EPCs carrying the potential for substantial financial penalties as well as operational and legal consequences. Compliance doesn't generate revenue. But it carries enormous risk when it goes wrong." Riccardo Iannucci-Dawson, Chief Executive of Alto, says: "Compliance doesn't generate revenue. But it carries enormous risk when it goes wrong. AutoCert is how we remove that risk entirely. Not by reminding your team to act, but by acting itself. The renewal workflow runs and the records update. The certificates land in Alto. Your team oversees it, but they don't have to manage every aspect of a certificate renewal anymore." Early adopter, Sam Whitehead of The Accommodation Bureau, says the system had already reduced time spent managing renewals and helped the business cope with busy periods without increasing headcount. AutoCert is available immediately as part of Alto Intelligence, the company's suite of AI-powered tools for letting agents. 16th Jul 2026 The Negotiator

Alto integrations to automate compliance. The property market doesn't sit still, and neither does its regulation. Between tightening margins, rising customer expectations, and major legislative shifts like the Renters' Rights Act, compliance has become a massive operational burden. For modern estate and letting agents, the challenge isn't just staying compliant, it's doing so without drowning your team in manual paperwork or forcing them to jump between a dozen disconnected systems. The secret to balancing your tech stack isn't adding more software; it's building beneficial connections. By leveraging a central CRM like Alto and plugging in specialised ecosystem partners, you can automate your heaviest legal workflows. Here is how you can use Alto integrations to protect your agency, save admin time, and add real value across both sales and lettings. 1. Sales compliance: Speed up onboarding safely. In residential sales, compliance bottlenecks usually happen right at the start of the journey. Gathering upfront material information, chasing ID documents, and running Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks can delay property listings by days - or even weeks. By integrating your compliance tools directly into your Alto workflow, you turn a clunky legal requirement into a seamless, digital onboarding experience. The partners to leverage: Kotini: Traditional compliance can feel like a "black box" of endless emails. Kotini integrates with Alto to completely automate client onboarding. It handles digital contract signing, biometric ID & AML checks, material information, upfront payments, and proof of funds. Because the data flows directly into your CRM, you get an instant audit trail without the manual data entry. Moverly: With Trading Standards demanding more upfront "Material Information" than ever before, Moverly helps you stay ahead of the curve. It automatically compiles comprehensive property material information packs early in the process. This ensures your sales listings are fully compliant from day one, drastically reducing fall-through rates and speeding up the time it takes to get to exchange. 2. Lettings compliance: bulletproof your portfolio. Lettings regulation is shifting at a relentless pace. Between gas safety deadlines, electrical checks, deposit protection rules, and stricter property standards, property managers are under intense pressure. Manually tracking these moving parts across hundreds of tenancies is a recipe for human error. Automating your lettings compliance within Alto ensures you never miss a deadline or lose a certificate. Symple: Managing safety certificates across a large portfolio can quickly become an administrative nightmare. Symple automates the entire process for gas safety (CP12), EICRs, and EPCs. The integration allows you to book inspections, track progress, and have the completed certificates automatically sync right back into Alto - giving your team instant visibility and total peace of mind. Want to ensure you're fully covered? Check your status instantly with Symple's free compliance checker. Inventory Base: Property condition disputes can be costly and time-consuming. Inventory Base enables property managers to create and manage detailed inventory and inspection reports throughout the tenancy lifecycle. By keeping these reports linked to your Alto workflow, agents can maintain a clear audit trail, reduce disputes, protect landlords' assets and support compliance obligations. LettsPay: Navigating the strict world of client accounting can easily become a back-office headache. The LettsPay integration securely pulls landlord, property and tenancy data from Alto into LettsPay. Once activated, all client accounting, rent processing, reconciliation, compliance checks and landlord payments are managed within LettsPay. Alto manages the properties. LettsPay manages the money. The verdict: Balance your stack, protect your business. Trying to manage modern property compliance across disconnected spreadsheets or standalone portals is a major risk to your efficiency and your legal safety. The most successful agencies use Alto as their single source of truth, connecting specialised tools like Kotini, Moverly, Symple, Inventory Base, and Aguru to handle the heavy lifting. This connected approach doesn't just eliminate manual admin; it builds a flawless, automated compliance framework that lets your team focus on what they do best: closing deals and building client relationships.

That means The Negotiator hold two decades of real transaction data, real workflows, real outcomes. "You can build a clever interface in a quarter. You cannot manufacture two decades of estate agency workflow data.

Every action in Alto Intelligence is logged, attributable, and reviewable." "Every action in Alto Intelligence is logged, attributable, and reviewable. The Negotiator has engineered specific use cases with guardrails around what AI can and can't do, because when AI gets it wrong in a regulated industry, the agency wears it, not the vendor. The Negotiator has taken the harder route because it's the right one. "Agencies are under real pressure to do more with less. The ones growing fastest are rethinking where their team's time actually goes. Alto Intelligence is the most direct answer to that we've ever put in front of the market - and the results we're already seeing tell us we're building the right thing."
