Why Haste Est8 exists
Haste Est8 is a sales progression platform for UK residential property chains. Its purpose is to connect the information around a move, make hold-ups visible and help the right people act on them.
The problem
Your buyer may need to sell their own home. Your seller may be buying somewhere else. Each of those moves can involve a different agent, conveyancer and lender.
Each firm can have a good record of its own case while the overall chain is still unclear. Progress sits in separate systems, emails and conversations. A branch can spend time chasing without knowing which unanswered question is actually holding everyone up.
For buyers and sellers, that gap often feels like silence: they know a sale has been agreed, but cannot see what is happening or what they need to do next.
The intended change
Haste Est8 brings these three jobs together around the linked sales.
Who benefits, and how
Estate agents and progressors
Use a focused work queue, investigate the hold-up across the chain and give clients an update grounded in recorded progress.
The intended benefit: less time reconstructing the story and a clearer basis for deciding what to chase.
Benefits for estate agentsBuyers and sellers
See confirmed milestones, the next step and relevant explanations of waiting, through the participating professional firms.
The intended benefit: a more understandable moving journey and less uncertainty about what happens next.
Benefits for buyers and sellersConveyancing firms
Receive focused milestone requests and share relevant progress with a source and time, while retaining private case information within the firm.
The intended benefit: more useful requests and a clear record of the answer provided.
The conveyancer workflowWhere it fits
An agency’s CRM manages its customer and property records. A conveyancer’s case system manages the legal file. Haste Est8 adds the connected view around those transactions.
Participating firms agree which relevant updates can be shared. Those can come from a validated system connection, a professional’s manual update or a focused secure reply. The chain becomes useful as the information and connections are confirmed.
The platform supports professional decisions. Legal work, lending decisions and agreement on exchange and completion remain with the people responsible for them.
Explore the platform’s capabilitiesCommon questions
Haste Est8 focuses on progressing an agreed sale or purchase. It helps the firms and people involved understand the linked transactions and the work needed to move towards completion.
A participating branch can begin with its own workflow. Manual updates and secure professional reply links can fill gaps. An unconnected or unconfirmed part of the chain remains visible as incomplete information.
The mover view is provided through participating estate agents and conveyancers. Ask the firm handling your move whether Haste Est8 is available for your transaction.
The purpose is to improve visibility, coordination and follow-up. The actual timing still depends on the chain, legal work, finance and professional decisions. A pilot should measure usefulness against your branch’s own starting point.
