Acre has launched a new surveying service in partnership with FP Surveying, aiming to make it simpler for brokers and their clients to arrange property surveys and valuations.
Acre Surveying, which offers independent RICS Level II homebuyers reports from £499 including VAT, is now integrated into Acre’s intermediary platform. The move gives mortgage advisers immediate access to a network of chartered surveyors, while clients can also self-refer through Acre’s portal.
Brokers earn commission for each completed survey.
The service has gone live with Finance Planning Mortgage Network, where early adoption has been strong.
Oliver Cunningham, a mortgage broker, said: “Literally all I did was click a button. From there, Acre Surveying contacted my client directly with a clear quote and explained why having a Homebuyer Report was the right thing to do. They even sent over an example report for extra reassurance.
“In my case, the client went ahead and booked straight away – it couldn’t have been easier.”
Reuben Thompson, Acre’s vice president of product innovation, said: “We’re delighted to extend our successful partnership with the Finance Planning Mortgage Network with the launch of Acre Surveying.
“This exciting development gives advisers the ability to refer clients with one click to best-in-class chartered surveyors and reflects another step in Acre’s mission to be the only piece of software any adviser needs.
“We are bringing all elements of the mortgage journey on board and improving the experience.”
Mark Ninnim, director at FP Surveying, added: “It makes sense that every homebuyer would want at least a quote for a survey, yet traditionally that hasn’t always happened.
“Acre has solved this with a simple one-click solution that removes the barriers and makes it effortless for brokers to do the right thing for their clients.
“By combining that innovation with our trusted surveying expertise, we’re making surveys more accessible and ensuring more buyers get the reassurance they need when purchasing a home.”
