How Estate Agents Can Track Mileage Between Viewings

The estate agent mileage pattern

An estate agent working day is a patchwork of journeys: office to valuation, valuation to viewing, viewing to inspection, inspection back to office. Every trip is business mileage, but the pattern changes every day.

If you try to log each journey manually, you spend more time on admin than on selling houses. If you estimate at the end of the week, you forget half the trips and under-claim.

Using your calendar to track mileage

If your valuations, viewings and inspections are in your calendar with property addresses, MileageCalendar calculates the driving distance from one appointment to the next — automatically.

The workflow matches your day: office to valuation, valuation to viewing, viewing to inspection. Each leg is recorded as a separate mileage entry with the date, route, distance and purpose.

Step by step

Here is how to set up mileage tracking for estate agency work:

• Put valuations, viewings and inspections in your calendar with property addresses
• Connect your calendar to MileageCalendar (read access only)
• MileageCalendar calculates driving distances between consecutive appointments
• Review and confirm which journeys were business
• Export a compliant report for your claim or agency

Claiming mileage as an estate agent

Travel between different work locations — valuations, viewings, inspections — is business mileage. Your regular commute to the office is personal, but travel between appointments is claimable at 55p per mile.

An estate agent driving 30 miles a day between viewings could claim around £4,400 a year. Use our mileage calculator to estimate your claim.
