What CFP Software does

CFP Software Limited is a UK-based supplier of software and technology to the property industry, established in 1989 and headquartered in Redruth, Cornwall, with a registered office in London. The company's flagship product, CFPwinMan, is a desktop property management platform used by thousands of UK lettings agents to manage property portfolios, tenant and landlord records, client accounting, and regulatory compliance. A variant, CFPwinMan SDB, adds DocuSign electronic signature integration for documents such as tenancy agreements, and CFPPremise extends the portfolio to additional lettings workflows. The platform is complemented by CFP Support (the UK's largest property software support desk), CFP Solutions (an outsourced client cash accounting service operating inside CFPwinMan), SMS Text Messenger and Datafeed services for portal distribution, and add-on modules including My Property File (a tenant/landlord portal) and MoveIT (referral services for conveyancing, mortgages, and removals). The platform holds first-in-category accreditations from NALS and ICAEW, with additional compliance across ARLA, NAEA, RICS, NFoPP, and the Law Society, and has been a Microsoft Certified Partner since 1998.

CFP operates within the Property Software Group (PSG) umbrella alongside Alto, Jupix, Vebra, and Core Systems, serving 9,000 UK agency customers. PSG was acquired by Zoopla Property Group (ZPG) in April 2016, providing distribution synergies including real-time data feeds to Zoopla and integrations with Hometrack (property data and analytics) and Technicweb (agency websites). The company's go-to-market is sales-led with enterprise field-sales motion, supported by direct demo requests, phone sales, content marketing (case studies, accreditation badges), and sponsorship of the Lettings Agency of the Year Awards.

Revenue is generated through a mix of software licensing with mandatory annual support (the licence terminates if support lapses), 24-month auto-renewing monthly subscriptions for cloud/hosted variants, usage-based SMS fees (10 pence per message), monthly datafeed service fees, and professional services revenue from CFP Solutions. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Customer evidence indicates a mix of enterprise (Carter Jonas, Chelton Brown since 1993, Imagine Group), mid-market (Winchester White, Bluestone Lettings, Claire Lloyd Agents), and SMB (Letzz, Grants of Derbyshire) accounts, with concentration risk diversified across a large UK letting-agency base.

Expansion highlights5 records

Regional players

• AppFolio: US-focused cloud property management SaaS with AI-augmented workflows. Comparable in target customer (small-to-mid market property managers) and product breadth to CFP but delivering it via cloud-native architecture.
• Console Group: Australia/UK-focused property and strata management software. Comparable vertical SaaS model in adjacent geographies, useful as a peer for CFP's go-to-market and feature roadmap benchmarking.
• Buildium: US-leading cloud property management platform for residential portfolios. While not directly competing in the UK, it represents the cloud-native template that newer UK entrants benchmark against and signals where the global category is heading.

Emerging players

• Arthur Online: Cloud-native UK property management platform built for landlords, agents, and block managers. Competes with CFP on property management workflows but focuses on smaller, modern agents rather than CFP's desktop enterprise install base.
• Fixflo: UK property maintenance and repair reporting software deeply embedded in letting agent workflows. Adjacent to CFP rather than head-to-head, but increasingly part of the same competitive shortlist when agents evaluate a modern cloud stack over CFP.

Broad incumbents

• MRI Software (RealPage / MRI): Global enterprise real estate software platform with residential lettings, accounting, and property management modules. Overlaps with CFP at the larger end of the agency market and represents the 'global incumbent' path CFP's parent could pursue via acquisition.
• Yardi Systems: Global end-to-end real estate software suite covering residential, commercial, and built-to-rent portfolios. Competes with CFP for larger, multi-portfolio agency and build-to-rent clients needing ERP-grade functionality beyond CFP's desktop scope.

Direct peers

• PayProp: UK-focused rental payments and tenant accounting platform serving letting agents. Overlaps directly with CFP's client cash accounting and rent receipting workflows and is increasingly being positioned as a cloud-native replacement for legacy accounting modules.
• Alto Software (Property Software Group / ZPG): Cloud-based lettings agency software from the same PSG portfolio as CFP. Targets the same UK lettings agent customer base with a modern SaaS alternative; competes directly for greenfield and migration deals where CFP's desktop CFPwinMan is the incumbent.
• Jupix (Property Software Group / ZPG): Cloud lettings and estate agency software within the PSG brand portfolio. Directly comparable offering to CFPwinMan in functionality (lettings, accounting, portal feeds) and customer base, distributed alongside CFP within the same group.
