Niche Communications

General information

Estate Agency Services

On the 14th May 1994 a young and eager floor planner armed with a tape measure, paper, pencil and a thirst for knowledge completed our very first floor plan sketch, Niche Communications have gone on to produce over a million RICS compliant floor plans.

Major advances in digital SLR cameras saw us turn our attention to photography towards the end of the millennium. We added a number of graduate photographers, some of which are still here today and enhanced our floor plan offering by introducing a range of professional photography options.

The introduction of the ill fated HIP in 2007 presented us with an opportunity to expand our service offering further. Our 20 floor planners and photographers went ‘back to school’ to sit their DEA Diplomas. With a further 15 graduates also recruited and trained, we now boast the largest employed group of multi skilled field staff in the UK. We can service virtually the whole country with Floor plans, Professional Photography and Energy Performance Certificates all carried out within a single visit.

In 2011, and following the same employed business model we expanded our service offering again by adding detailed Property Inventories, Check-in and Check-out Reports

Digital & Design Services

The latest digital technology has transformed the way in which estate agents present their clients property. Niche Communications supply the most complete range of print and marketing services to the UK property market. Agents can now receive high quality brochures at a fraction of the cost of traditional printing. We equip our customers with the products, services and tools they need to present their property portfolio effectively, to engage with their customers directly and stand out in a competitive market place.

Vendors need to be confident that their property is being presented to maximum effect, potential buyers want as much information as possible and your business requires its brand to be managed and displayed in the most professional manner.

Our department has a wealth of experience in design and branding for a range of businesses from Estate Agencies to football clubs. The likely hood is you will have already seen much of our work without knowing it.

If you're just starting out we can brand your business from your logo through to your stationery, marketing materials, shop fronts and vehicle graphics. Whether you're estabilished or a new business we can provide regular marketing materials as well as automated web-to-print solutions, online magazines and html e-mail templates.

Data Services

Niche Data was developed to change the way UK Residential Address data could be accessed for research and list delivery. The system provides real time delivery of the latest residential address data which is updated on a monthly basis.

The system was initially developed to provide our customers with a sophisticated yet simple to use interface from which they could create, amend and download ‘on the fly‘ any of the 30 million UK residential addresses that the system holds (the system also contains 43 million individual records relating to those 30 million addresses).

Now the Niche Data ‘data engine‘ is available to list providers and large data users allowing them to dramatically improve their productivity levels whilst simultaneously increasing client service levels by instantly running lists and counts for their clients. As an added benefit a white label version of the site can be provided for direct client access.

Energy Services

Niche Commercial Energy Services was formed to meet the growing demand from business to become compliant with current legislation and ensure a Commercial EPC has been completed prior to marketing a commercial property. However, just as importantly there is a real need to save money and reduce energy costs as energy prices continue to rise substantially. We are able to offer a one stop shop from compliance to consultancy and fulfilment services, ensuring our client’s legal and financial interests are protected.

We have also invested in the latest technology to ensure that our service standards are the best, providing an on-line point of sale quotation and ordering process with full case tracking.
