FAQ
Common questions
For Irish housing bodies, local authorities, and scheme-funded providers, yes. For private-sector Irish estate agents focused on sales and standard lettings, Acquaint may remain the right tool.
No. Acquaint is built around PSRA-regulated estate and letting agency workflows. Affordable housing scheme verticals are not in scope. Rentalize was built for them.
Rentalize. Native CREL and STAR funding tracking, eligibility verification, allocation audit trail, and Housing Agency reporting are out-of-the-box. Acquaint cannot do this.
Possible — Acquaint for sales-side and Rentalize for housing-body / scheme-funded lettings. Most operators consolidate to one platform over time.
Yes for letting-agent operations within the PSRA framework: client moneys segregation, mandatory Section 21 PSRA forms, advertising rules. Acquaint has deeper coverage of estate-agent-side PSRA workflows (sales agency, conveyancing prompts).
