The Bottom Line
Dezrez Veco is a well-established property management CRM that has been serving UK agents for over 25 years. It offers comprehensive functionality across property management, maintenance, financials, and compliance tracking. The newer Veco Plus version brings a more modern cloud-based experience.
Veco's main limitations are the lack of AI features, no dedicated mobile apps for landlords, tenants, or contractors (the Dezrez Lite app is agent-only), and reliance on third-party partners for referencing and AML. The legacy version also has a significant learning curve, though Veco Plus addresses some UI concerns.
LettingGuru offers AI features, guided inspections, and dedicated native mobile apps for all stakeholders as standard. For agencies wanting modern tools without the complexity of a legacy platform, LettingGuru provides a streamlined alternative.
