Zoopla enquiry automation for UK estate agents

Turn Zoopla enquiries
into qualified leads — 24/7

Sift qualifies the buyers Zoopla sends to your website, email or SMS — capturing chain status, Decision in Principle, budget and timeline before a negotiator picks up the phone. Real Zoopla AI lead qualification, in plain conversation, day or night.

14-day trial · From £149/month · Web widget, email and SMS channels

Sift does not sync with the Zoopla portal directly — there is no public portal feed. Sift qualifies Zoopla enquirers who reach your agency's own website, inbound email or SMS line.

Where Sift fits the Zoopla enquiry journey

Zoopla is the discovery layer — it pushes enquirers into your channels. Sift is the qualification layer that catches them the moment they land, regardless of hour.

STAGE 1
Buyer enquires on Zoopla
browses listings, hits "contact agent"
STAGE 2
Reaches your channels
website visit, email, SMS
SIFT
AI qualifies instantly
chain, DIP, budget, timeline
YOUR TEAM
Negotiator follows up
already knows buyer position

Sift qualifies the Zoopla enquirer when they reach your website, inbox or SMS line — not the portal itself.

How Sift's Zoopla AI lead qualification works

1

Zoopla enquirer lands on your channels

After enquiring on a Zoopla listing, the buyer clicks through to your agency website, replies to your office email, or texts your published number. Sift handles all three.

2

GDPR consent captured

Before any personal data is collected, the buyer consents. Full ICO audit trail stored automatically — no manual record-keeping required.

3

AI qualifies the buyer in plain conversation

Chain status, Decision in Principle, cash-buyer status, government scheme eligibility, budget and timeline — drawn out naturally rather than via a static form.

4

Qualified leads land in your Sift dashboard

Each Zoopla enquirer becomes a structured lead — scored hot/warm/cool with rationale, full transcript, GDPR record and contact details. CSV export on every plan; Zapier and outbound webhook on Growth and Scale.

5

Negotiators start every morning warm

No more cold-calling overnight enquirers. The unified Activity page shows every Zoopla-sourced conversation across web, email and SMS with channel filters.

What Sift captures from each Zoopla enquirer

Chain status chain-free / in chain / unknown
Mortgage readiness DIP held / pending / exploring
Cash buyer immediate / conditional / unknown
Government scheme Help to Buy / Shared Ownership / First Homes
Timeline <6 weeks / 6-12 weeks / 12+
14-point lead score hot / warm / cool

Plus: full conversation transcript, GDPR consent record, and contact details — stored in the Sift dashboard, exportable via CSV, and forwardable via Zapier or outbound webhook (Growth/Scale).

One script tag on your agency website, your inbound email connected, optional SMS number. No CRM project, no developer onboarding, no Zoopla account changes required.

HONEST BOUNDARY

Sift is not a Zoopla portal integration

There is no public Zoopla API for third-party AI tools to pull enquiries from the portal. Anything claiming "direct Zoopla sync" is, at best, scraping or syncing through your CRM. Sift takes a different route — it qualifies Zoopla buyers at the channels they actually use to reach your agency: your website (chat widget), your published email, and your SMS line.

What Sift does — qualifies Zoopla enquirers on your website (chat widget), email (inbound channel) and SMS, 24/7, with structured UK qualification signals.
What Sift doesn't do — connect to the Zoopla portal API, sync a Zoopla enquiry feed, post to Zoopla, or scrape portal pages.

Native CRM integrations (Alto, Reapit, Dezrez, Jupix and others) are on the roadmap. Today, leads forward via Zapier or outbound webhook (Growth/Scale), or CSV export on every plan.

Simple, transparent pricing

All plans include the web widget, SMS, email, GDPR consent flow, and CSV export. Outbound webhook and Zapier on Growth and Scale. No annual lock-in.

Frequently asked questions

Does Sift integrate with or sync with the Zoopla portal?

No — Sift does not connect to Zoopla's portal directly. There is no public Zoopla enquiry feed for third-party AI tools to consume. Sift's Zoopla enquiry automation works one layer further down the funnel: it qualifies the buyers Zoopla sends to your own channels. Your agency website (chat widget), your published email address (inbound email channel), and your SMS line all become 24/7 qualification surfaces, so no Zoopla enquirer waits until morning for a reply.

How does Zoopla AI lead qualification actually work with Sift?

When a buyer enquires on a Zoopla listing they typically click through to your agency website, reply to the email you send them, or text the office number. Sift is waiting on all three: the web widget engages site visitors instantly, the email channel replies to inbound enquiries, and the SMS channel handles texts. The AI asks the same UK qualification questions across channels — chain status, mortgage Decision in Principle, cash-buyer status, government schemes, budget and timeline — then writes a structured lead with a hot/warm/cool score into the Sift dashboard.

What UK-specific signals does Sift capture for Zoopla buyers?

Sift captures chain status (chain-free, in chain, unknown), mortgage Decision in Principle (held, pending, exploring), cash-buyer disambiguation (immediate, conditional, unknown), government scheme eligibility (Help to Buy, Shared Ownership, First Homes), budget, timeline and a 14-point lead score. Every lead arrives with the full transcript, GDPR consent record and contact details — exportable via CSV, or forwardable to any URL via outbound webhook or Zapier on Growth and Scale.

Does Sift cover out-of-hours Zoopla enquiries?

Yes — that is the core use case. Roughly 40% of Zoopla buyer enquiries arrive outside office hours and the average UK industry first-response is over 15 hours. Sift answers on the web widget, by email and by SMS at any hour, qualifies the buyer in plain conversation, and queues structured leads in the dashboard so negotiators open every morning with hot Zoopla enquiries already triaged.

How much does Sift cost and is there a free trial?

Sift is priced from £149/month (Starter) to £549/month (Scale). All plans include the web chat widget, email channel, SMS channel, GDPR consent flow, lead dashboard and CSV export. Growth (£299/mo) and Scale (£549/mo) add an outbound webhook and Zapier integration for forwarding leads to 6,000+ apps. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial, no card required.
