TerraSuite - Estate Agency Software, Property Listings and Map Search

Property listings, search and enquiries for an estate or letting agency. The fields on a property follow the market you set: a UK agency gets tenure and council tax band, a Spanish agency community fees and the cadastral reference, an American agency HOA fees and an MLS number. Everything described below is in this plugin and works without paying anybody. What it does

• Listings. Unlimited properties, for sale, to rent or short let, with photographs, floorplans, key selling points and every field a portal asks for.
• Search. Filters that run against a flat index, so ten filters is still one query. Distance from a point, or an area the visitor draws on the map.
• Maps. Self-hosted. No third-party script and no API key. An owner who does not want the exact position published gets a shaded circle, and the search still works correctly.
• Enquiries and clients. One record per person, however they arrived.
• Shortlists. A visitor saves the properties they like and comes back to them, with or without registering.
• Area guides, written by hand.
• CSV import and export, both ways, with a mapping screen.
• Structured data for search engines, on every property.
• Privacy tools: the export and erase requests WordPress asks plugins to answer, covering the records this plugin keeps.
• Your own website: pages, menus, a front page and a staff list, so an agency can put a site together without a page builder.

What it does not include No login lockout, no firewall, no malware scanner, no SEO fields, no caching, no contact-form builder. Those belong at the edge or in one plugin that does them properly. A paid add-on exists TerraSuite Pro is a separate plugin sold from terrasuite.uk. It adds the viewings calendar and bookings, the message centre, QR codes, branded particulars, portal feed importers and de-duplication, partner agencies and fee splits, applicant matching and alerts, Elasticsearch and the AI features. It also adds the knowledgebase, with sixty-three articles written for clients and for staff.

1. Upload the folder to /wp-content/plugins/ and activate it.
2. Property > Settings > General: your country, currency and units.
3. Property > Your Agency: fill in your own record.
4. Add one property by hand and look at it on the website, before setting up any import.

Property > Tools will create demonstration data so you can try everything, and remove it again in one step.

1.4.1

• An area pack installed again, after a different one had been tried, puts its own country, currency, units and map back. Installing a second pack and taking it off again left the first pack's guides in place with the second pack's settings, so an agency that had looked at a British pack was left pricing Spanish property in pounds and measuring it in square feet, with the map over England. A pack already set up is left alone, so your own adjustments to it stay yours.

1.4.0

• The diary checks whether a negotiator can actually reach the next viewing. The drive between the two properties is measured rather than allowed for with one flat figure, and a time that will not fit is no longer offered to a visitor. Where the drive cannot be worked out - a property with no map position, an appointment not tied to a property, an office with no position, or the routing service unreachable - the time is offered exactly as it was before, and the screen says which of those it was.
• Viewing length, travel time and the gap after an appointment are three separate figures instead of two. Working patterns written before this keep the appointment times they already generate: the figure that used to be called travelling time is moved into its own setting rather than copied into it.
• An office address is looked up from what you typed, so nobody has to know their own latitude and longitude. The street and postcode can also be kept off the contact block, the offices list, the email footer and the printed particulars, for an agency working from home.
• A property feed can be told that its supplier never sends map positions, and then addresses from that feed alone are looked up. A position worked out from a town rather than a street is recorded as a town-level one and the property editor says so, instead of drawing it on the page as though it were the house.
• Calendar is now Availability, because that is what it sets: when your negotiators can be seen. Viewings is the diary, and the screen links to it rather than leaving you to work that out.
• A language downloaded on the Languages screen is no longer removed by an update.
• A visitor who knows a client's email address can no longer be treated as that client. A returning enquirer reaches their shortlist from the link in the email we send them, which is the only route that shows they can read that mailbox.
• Eight warnings the feed importers wrote to the site log, on sites that had imported nothing for weeks, no longer happen.

1.3.0

• Spanish, French, Dutch and Swedish, complete. Every word the software puts on the screen is translated in all four.
• Languages are downloaded rather than carried. Four languages are two megabytes, and an agency that works in English should not be downloading them on every update. The Languages screen lists what is available with how much of it is translated, and one button fetches only what your site has. It asks WordPress for its own translation of itself at the same time, because a language WordPress has not got is one it refuses to switch into.
• Your Own Wording. A phrase that does not read quite right on your site can be corrected without waiting for us, per language, and your correction survives an update.
• The client status list is shorter and plainer: Viewing has gone, because a viewing is an appointment the diary already records, and Offer accepted has been added between Offer made and Completed.
• Mail goes out as the address you set. A setting on the screen now beats anything in a configuration file, which it did not before, so an agency that typed its own address and still saw mail leaving as something else will find it fixed.
• An administrator account that only manages the website is no longer treated as a member of the agency's staff anywhere in the product.
• Demonstration data refuses to install itself on a site that already has real properties or clients on it, and removing it now takes away the sample agencies as well, which it never did.
• Typing the confirmation word before deleting something works in your own language.
• The command line option that installs a region's guides without touching your currency, units and map had never worked, so the guides on a hosted site were never refreshed when we improved them. Fixed.

1.2.0

• Your properties, your lists and your writing now have screens of their own. Properties, Add Property, Types, Locations, Features, Area Guides, the Knowledgebase and Reviews all used to open WordPress's own post and taxonomy screens, with the block editor behind every title. An estate agent is not a WordPress developer and should not have to learn one to change a price.
• Your Pictures replaces the Media Library. It will not let you delete a photograph that is on a property, and it says which property; it puts the description a screen reader reads next to the name rather than two clicks deep; and it offers no image editor to rewrite your originals with.
• Your Team: who appears on your team page, what their job title says, the languages they speak and whether they are shown at all. Those fields were on the WordPress user profile, under Application Passwords.
• New search criteria. A feed sends a feature as whatever words it uses, and anything we do not recognise is now held for you to decide about - map it onto a feature you already have, add it as a new one, or say it is not worth a box - rather than being added on its own. One site had reached 135 feature terms with air conditioning among them three times over.
• Removing a term is refused where properties are filed under it, and merging is offered instead. Renaming one never changes its address, so saved searches and links people already have keep working.
• Saved searches can be changed, switched off and removed. Until now one could be created and never corrected.
• Lists are paged. Clients, viewings, messages, offers, repairs, documents and QR codes all stopped at a fixed number of rows with nothing to say so.
• Export as CSV now exports what the screen is showing. It used to send the whole site however you had filtered it.
• An agency that does not let is no longer shown lettings anywhere: not in the menu, the availability list, the price frequencies, the valuation form, the knowledgebase index, the tenant area or the document types.
• Services: a page, a menu link and a screen that appear together when you switch the section on.
• How long records are kept is now one setting that says what it does, and the view-count retention has a control rather than living in a file.
• Your client list can be taken out as a spreadsheet and brought in from one. An agency moving to us has a list from whatever they used before; an agency leaving us is entitled to take theirs away. The import shows you what it would do before it writes anything, and will not make two records with one email address. The sign-in links are deliberately left out of the export.
• Spanish throughout: all four catalogues complete.

1.1.1

• A property's UPRN is now shown on its page. The field was added in 1.1.0 and collected on every property, but no template printed it, so nobody outside the editing screen ever saw one. It now sits with the other identifiers, beside the reference and the MLS number, rather than among the disclosures.
• Each country is now only asked for its own paperwork. The seven Spanish rental disclosure fields, and the IBI and refuse charge, were being offered on properties in Portugal, Italy and France, which have no reference rent index, no gran tenedor and no IBI. The five British fields - UPRN, council tax band, coalfield and the two EPC ratings - were being offered in Ireland, which uses neither council tax nor an EPC. The fields each country does need are unchanged.
• Getting Started now covers every screen in the plugin. Two were missing, both of them Featured email: the screen itself and its settings tab. The guide is also checked the other way round, so a step can no longer claim it covers a screen that does not exist - one step did, and read as coverage.
• The SSH host key help on the import screen is one sentence shorter and says what to type. Spanish is complete, at 2,493 of 2,493 strings.

1.1.0

• Spanish rental adverts now carry what the law requires. Real Decreto-ley 29/2026 came into force on 8 October 2026 and names what every rental offer must publish: the reference rent index where the home is in a declared rent-controlled zone, the applicable rent limit together with the rules that set it, the unit's registration code where it has one, and whether the landlord is a gran tenedor. Seven new fields hold all of it. The rent-controlled designation is made by town, not by property, so it is answered once on the Location term and every property in that town inherits it, with an override for a municipality declared only in part. There is no switch to turn the fields on: each one publishes as soon as it holds a value, and a notice above the title names anything still missing where the zone says it is required.
• A feed from another agency is now recognised as another agency's stock. If you import a partner's feed, the properties used to be recorded as your own instructions. The listing address inside the feed says whose they really are, so they are now marked as shared and attributed, with nothing to set up and no question to answer.
• Sixty fields that no import or export could reach are now carried by both. Eleven of these were fixed on 11 October; the rest were found by listing every field the plugin registers and comparing it against what the import mapping screen and the CSV export actually offer, which is now checked automatically so it cannot drift again.
• UK properties have a UPRN field. The local authority gives every addressable property in Great Britain a UPRN, it stays with the building through a renumbering or a conversion into flats, it is printed on every EPC, and Land Registry has published it alongside Price Paid Data since August 2026. You type it off the certificate; there is no lookup, because the address-to-UPRN mapping is licensed.
• The Spanish translation now travels with the plugin. It used to be installed separately on each site, which meant no update ever carried it and the deployed copy was three weeks behind the plugin, so new screens appeared in English on a Spanish site. The catalogue is built into the plugin and is rebuilt as part of every release.
• Getting Started is the first item in the TerraSuite menu. It was two thirds of the way down, below Settings, which is a poor place for the screen written for your first morning.
• Content packs now download. The area guides and photographs are fetched from our own website, and our firewall was blocking that request for every installation since launch; the plugin reported it as "forbidden". The fix is on our side and this version needs no change for it, but this is the first release since it was put right.
• The import screen now reads the file you uploaded. Instead of forty empty boxes asking you to type your own column names from memory, each field offers a list of the columns your file really contains, with a match already chosen where one is obvious, and three rows of that column shown beside it so you can see what you are about to import. Columns nothing is reading are named underneath.
• Eleven more fields can be mapped on an import and are carried by the CSV export: your own reference, year built, furnished, parking, garden, tenure, council tax band, community fees, IBI, and the two energy values in kWh and kg CO2. The import has always been able to write them; nothing could ever send them, because the mapping screen offers only the fields listed here.
• The CSV export no longer carries four columns that could never hold anything, and now fills three that were always blank: the first address line, the source's last-modified date and the source listing URL.
• A property's own reference now survives an export and re-import. The reference column used to be overwritten with a WordPress post id, which means nothing on another site, so an agency's quotable references were lost in a move.

1.0.3

• A column in an imported CSV reading "No", "false" or "off" is now stored as no. It was stored as YES, because the test asked whether the cell was empty and those words are not. An agency importing its own stock got a swimming pool and a garden on every property. "0" worked only by accident.
• An empty price, bedroom or area column in an imported CSV now leaves the field empty instead of setting it to zero, so a property with no price is no longer published at nothing.
• The "defaults for missing values" on the import screen - currency, country and department - now apply to a CSV source. They were read by the XML and JSON importers and ignored by the CSV one, while the screen warned that a feed with no currency turns 300,000 euros into 300,000 pounds.
• The directory listing is now titled "TerraSuite - Estate Agency Software, Property Listings and Map Search" rather than "TerraSuite". Nothing about the plugin changes: the slug, the brand and the name WordPress shows on your Plugins screen are all the same. WordPress.org weights the listing title heavily when it ranks a search, and every plugin above us for "real estate plugin" and "property listings" carries those words in its name.
• An agency can now say which departments it runs. A sales-only agency switches lettings off and the other way round, and whatever is unticked stops appearing on the search form, the property editor, the import mapper and the registration form. A department cannot be switched off while properties are recorded against it, and the message says how many.

1.0.2

• The property, article, area guide, team, review and service post types, and the eight taxonomies with them, are now prefixed terrasuite_ rather than ts_. Existing records are carried across on upgrade; no address changes.
• The printed particulars sheet loads its stylesheet the WordPress way instead of printing it into the page.
• Every value a form sends is sanitised where it is read: prices and sizes, the areas drawn on the map, the term lists, client notes, import separators and stored credentials.
• The valuation estimate is escaped where it is output rather than where it is built, because a filter can change it in between.
• The knowledgebase is no longer part of the free plugin. Writing and publishing articles is a TerraSuite Pro feature; nothing already written is removed.
• Search results no longer repeat a property across two pages when several share the same price or date.
• Spanish, and any other translation, is read from wp-content/languages/plugins as WordPress.org supplies it.

1.0.1

• Drawing an area on the map, and shortlists, are now part of the free plugin.
• The shortlist has its page back. Properties could be saved with the heart but there was nowhere to see the list again.
• Help articles can be written and published here. The screen for them was missing, which left the /help page with no way to put anything on it.
• QR codes, and the ready-written articles, moved to TerraSuite Pro.
• No page is created for a feature that is not installed.
• Opening Get Content no longer contacts us. The list of regions is fetched when you ask for it, which is what that screen always said.
• Stored passwords, and the tokens in feed addresses, use a key belonging to this plugin. They were derived from the WordPress authentication salts, so rotating those after a security incident destroyed them with no warning.
• Feed passwords are stored with AES-256-CBC rather than a reversible scramble.
• A downloaded content pack is refused if it contains anything runnable.
• Every external service the plugin can reach is now listed above.

1.0.0

• First release.
