The provider of software for property surveys and valuations said the new tool would help ensure a more consistent approach to all valuation instructions.

Indeed, the new function will help surveyors capture and complete private valuations using a mobile device for a variety of valuations including standard red book, matrimonial, Help to Buy and shared equity.

It can also be used for probate valuations, reinstatement costs assessments, secured lending valuations.

From within Q-Mobile, surveyors will now have a single point of access to all their key tasks, spanning mortgage valuations, RICS HomeBuyer Reports, single survey reports, condition surveys and now private valuations.

Landmark explained Q-Mobile had the major benefit of removing the need to manually create paper-based reports, saving surveyors valuable time and increasing efficiency.

Mike Holden, managing director of Landmark Valuation Services said, “Having obtained feedback from our customers on where improvements can be made with Q-Mobile, we identified that many were keen to enjoy a consistent approach to all valuations, regardless of whether the work has come from a lender or a private client.

“We have therefore developed the new Private Valuations function, which incorporates the essential set of standardised valuation questions, carefully assembled by our team to draw from industry best practice.

“This provides a familiar, trusted process that surveyors are familiar with from other instructions, making the process as smooth and logical as possible.”

A series of webinars are being to introduce the Private Valuations function in Q-Mobile.  The next webinar will be held at 3pm on Wednesday 14 April – to register, please click here.
