Good afternoon — how can I help you today?

Hi, do you have any rooms in Castle Bromwich?
RD
We do — there's an en-suite double at £475 a month, bills included. When were you hoping to move in?
👤
Early next month if possible. Could I come and see it?

What it handles

Every call your lettings
business receives, handled

From someone hunting for a room on a Sunday evening, to a tenant reporting a leak or a contractor chasing a job — RingDesk covers the everyday reasons people ring a COHO operator, logs each one in COHO, and knows when to put a human on.

🏠 Room & availability enquiries
🔑

Rooms available

Takes the area they're after, their budget and move-in date, and tells them what fits. Where it's set up, it answers from your current room availability rather than guessing.

Answered + lead captured
💡

Bills-included questions

Explains that most rooms are let on a bills-included basis and confirms exactly what's included for the specific room the caller is interested in.

Fully answered
📅

Viewing request

When a caller wants to see a room, the agent takes which room or area they're interested in and when suits them, and arranges for the team to show them round.

Viewing arranged
📍

Area & room-type queries

Handles questions about which areas you have houses in and the room types on offer — en-suite, double, single, shared bathroom — and captures the lead for follow-up.

Answered + lead captured
🔧 Current-tenant calls
🛠️

Maintenance issue

Takes which house and room, and what the problem is, then logs it as a maintenance request for the team to sort as quickly as possible.

Logged for the team
💬

General tenant questions

Answers routine questions a current tenant might have and captures anything that needs a person to follow up, with a full note passed to your team.

Answered + message captured
📝

Callback requests

When something is best handled by a person, the agent takes the caller's name, number and reason for calling, and arranges a callback — nobody goes to voicemail and gets forgotten.

Callback arranged
🔧 Contractors & suppliers
🧰

Update on a job

A contractor calling about an existing repair — attending, parts ordered, completed — is captured against that maintenance job in COHO, with their callback number.

Logged to the COHO job
📦

Access, quotes & invoices

A supplier needing access, sending a quote or chasing an invoice is taken as a task for your team, with the company, property and what they need.

Task raised for the team
🔴 Smart escalation
🚨

Maintenance emergency

A tenant reporting something urgent — a major leak, no heating, no power, or anything unsafe — is flagged straight away and transferred or escalated to the right person on your team.

Always escalated immediately
⭐

Serious room enquiry

A strong prospective tenant — ready to view or move in soon — can be put through to your team when you want to speak to them directly.

Put through on request
⚖️

Disputes or sensitive matters

Calls about deposits, disputes, notice or other sensitive matters are routed to the appropriate person rather than handled by the agent.

Always routed to the right person

Cold callers and nuisance numbers are screened out, so your team only sees calls that matter.

Why operators choose RingDesk

Every missed call is a room
that stays empty longer

Room-seekers call several operators and take the first one that answers and sorts a viewing. A room sitting empty is lost rent every week. RingDesk makes sure you're the one who picks up.

📞

Catches enquiries you'd otherwise miss

When you're showing a room, mid-viewing, or it's the evening, RingDesk answers immediately — capturing the enquiry before the caller rings the next operator.

🔧

Tenant issues never slip through

Every maintenance report is logged with the house, room and problem, and anything urgent is escalated straight away — so small issues don't become big ones.

📊

Know what people are asking for

Call analytics show which areas and room types are most in demand and the questions that come up most — helping you market the right rooms.

💷

Rooms let faster

One room let a week sooner because you answered and booked the viewing covers far more than a month's RingDesk cost.

Questions

Common questions

How does RingDesk connect to COHO?

You add RingDesk from the COHO store. Your account is provisioned automatically, your phone line is set up for you, and the connection is wired behind the scenes — no setup forms. From then on the agent reads your live COHO rooms to help callers and writes every call back into COHO.

Do I need a new phone number?

No — you keep your existing number. You set conditional call forwarding so RingDesk answers when your line is busy or unanswered, which means callers carry on ringing the same number they always have.

What gets logged into COHO after a call?

Each call is written back as the right COHO object: a room enquiry becomes a lead, a repair becomes a maintenance item, a viewing becomes a callback task, and a general or contractor call becomes a task — each scoped to the right property and room. Every call is also sent to your team by email and SMS.

Can it tell callers which rooms are available?

Yes — it answers from your live COHO rooms: the rent, whether bills are included, en-suite, room size and area, rather than generic answers. It also takes the caller's budget and move-in date and captures the enquiry as a lead.

Is it safe with tenant data?

Yes. RingDesk is private by default: it never confirms who lives where, never gives out access or entry codes, and never shares a resident's or the owner's details — those are always routed to your team. It recognises a known caller's number quietly to tag the call correctly, but never reads their details back to them.

What happens with an emergency or a contractor?

Anything urgent — a major leak, no heating, or anything unsafe — is flagged and put through or escalated to the right person. A contractor calling about a job is logged against that maintenance item in COHO, and anything needing access is arranged by your team, never by the agent.

I'm a single landlord with a few rooms, is this for me?

Yes. RingDesk works the same whether you run a handful of rooms or hundreds. Because it uses your COHO data, you don't need a website — it already knows your rooms. It just means every caller gets answered and every call lands in COHO.

How much does it cost and is there a free trial?

Pricing is a simple monthly plan based on your call volume (prices ex-VAT) — see our pricing for current plans. Every plan includes a 14-day free trial: a card is required to start, but you won't be charged until the trial ends, and one room let faster usually covers far more than a month's cost.

Still relying on voicemail?

Voicemail doesn’t catch missed calls — it loses them

Voicemail only captures the few tenants who bother to leave a message. Most just hang up and go to the next business. RingDesk answers every call live — so you keep the ones voicemail quietly loses.
