TinyX for estate agents: property packs, virtual tours, and trackable links

You prepped a full property information pack — 12 documents, 80MB, floorplans, EPC certificate, title plan, planning history, and a 3D tour link. You emailed it to six registered buyers. One came back saying they couldn't open the files. Two others haven't acknowledged it at all. One forwarded it to someone who isn't in your system.

You don't know who's actually engaged. You don't know if the viewings you're booking are for people who've done any research at all. And you definitely don't know whether the solicitor on the other side has accessed the documents you sent them two weeks ago.

Information without visibility is just noise. TinyX fixes that — one trackable link for the whole property pack workflow.

How do estate agents send a property pack as one trackable link?

TinyX's folder link lets you bundle an entire property information pack — floorplans, EPC, title documents, photos, lease information — into one short URL. The recipient opens it, sees all files, downloads what they need. One link. Clean.

No email attachment size limits. No Dropbox "request access" prompts. No WeTransfer expiry emails three days in. The link works for as long as you want it to, or expires when you say it does.

And crucially: you can see every time that link is opened — when, from where, on what device. When you're chasing a buyer for feedback on a property, you already know whether they've looked at the pack or not. That changes the conversation.

For a side-by-side on privacy, expiry, and day-to-day file handoffs, see TinyX vs Dropbox and TinyX vs WeTransfer.

Which prospective buyers are actually engaged?

Estate agency involves a lot of prospective buyers who will never make an offer. The challenge is identifying the serious ones before you spend time and resource on viewings.

TinyX's real-time analytics on every link tell you:

  • Whether a buyer opened the property pack at all
  • How many times they came back to it
  • What device they used (someone researching seriously on desktop at midnight is a different signal than a casual mobile tap)
  • What country they're in (relevant for overseas investor properties)

This is intelligence your CRM doesn't give you. Use it to prioritise callbacks, focus your vendor reports, and stop chasing buyers who haven't engaged. The same link analytics pattern is how photographers track gallery opens — estate agents get the same visibility on property packs.

Can virtual tour QR codes on print particulars stay valid when the URL changes?

You have a virtual tour URL. It's 94 characters long and it's going on a printed particulars sheet that you hand out at viewings.

TinyX shortens it to something like tinyx.co/abc123 and generates a QR code as a scalable SVG — print it at any size on your particulars, your office window display, your "For Sale" board insert, or your direct mail pieces without pixelation.

When the tour URL changes (because the provider changed, or you switched platforms), update the TinyX destination and every printed QR code automatically points to the new link. No reprinting. The board stays up. The particulars stay valid.

How do self-destructing links protect solicitor packs and pre-market buyers?

Some documents shouldn't circulate indefinitely. A pre-market listing shown to selected buyers. A set of documents sent to a solicitor for exchange. A link to a property that's under offer but not yet publicly off the market.

TinyX supports click-based expiry: the link works for a set number of opens, then stops. Send a document to the buyer's solicitor that expires after three views. Show a pre-market property to five buyers with a link that closes after five opens. After that, there's no live URL to share, forward, or screenshot into a WhatsApp group.

Can clients upload TA6, proof of funds, and certificates without email back-and-forth?

Vendors completing their property questionnaire (TA6, TA10). Buyers providing proof of funds. Landlords submitting compliance certificates. This information comes to you in fragments, via email, often incomplete.

TinyX's upload drop lets you create a short link and share it with the client. They open it, upload their documents — no account, no login — and you're notified instantly. All files arrive encrypted. No more "I've forwarded the passport to your email, did you get it?" chains.

For higher-value transactions, password-protect the upload drop so only the specific client you've shared the password with can access it.

How do password-protected links work for pre-market listings?

You have a property coming to market that isn't public yet. You want to share it with a shortlist of registered buyers before you go live — without it hitting Rightmove, without the address being searchable.

Create a TinyX link with a password. Share the link with your shortlist, pass the password separately. They get to see the property; it stays controlled. Set a time-based expiry for when you want the pre-market window to close.

FAQ

Can I track which specific buyer opened a link, or just aggregate data? TinyX shows you aggregate analytics — open count, country, device, and time. If you create a separate link for each buyer, you can track per-buyer engagement individually.

Can recipients download the whole folder as a zip? Yes. Folder links let recipients download the full package in one go, or pick individual files. No compression tool needed on either end.

What file size limits apply to property documents? Current plans (confirm on tinyx.co/#pricing): Free allows up to 150MB per file with 10GB storage; Pro ($9/mo) goes to 1GB per file with 100GB storage; Max ($29/mo) allows 5GB per file with 300GB storage. For large image galleries or floorplan packages, Pro covers most transactions.

Do recipients need a TinyX account? No. Buyers, solicitors, and vendors open the link (and enter a password if you've set one) and download or upload directly — no signup friction on their end.


Buyers make decisions based on information. You should know whether they have it.
