Viewber Membership

A property viewing can feel exciting. But excitement can make you miss the details that matter!

Whether you’re buying, renting, or investing, it’s easy to get distracted by a great layout or a fresh interior.

But cracks, damp, mould, missing roof tiles, wiring issues, noise, unusual smells, draughts, cold walls, and low water pressure can all tell a bigger story.

That’s why our blog breaks the viewing process down by:

👀 Sight
👂 Sound
👃 Smell
✋ Touch

It’s a practical way to stay focused and spot issues that may need follow-up with the agent, landlord, seller, or a specialist.

At Viewber, we’ve provided accompanied viewings since 2016 and have now completed 1 million property appointments, so we know how important a clear, objective checklist can be.

The UK property landscape is shifting rapidly under the new government. 🏛️📈

Between the post-election 'Burnham bounce' in buyer demand, quashed stamp duty rumours, and new 'default yes' planning rules near major transport hubs, separating political rhetoric from actual law is a full-time job for property professionals.

Whether you are navigating shifting social housing requirements or exploring new development sites across multiple counties, coordinating the necessary on-site visits can quickly stretch your team to its limits.

That’s where Viewber comes in. Our nationwide network of Viewber Members provides flexible, on-demand property support -from site visits and inspections to simple property access - without the need to hire extra staff or sign long-term contracts.

Our latest blog breaks down the key housing policy updates you need to know right now, and explores how leaning on outsourced support can keep your operations moving smoothly while you focus on the bigger picture.

Nothing makes a property listing look older than a snowy exterior shot in July... or a bright summer BBQ setup in the middle of autumn. 🍂📸

As the seasons change, so should your marketing. Updating your photography to reflect the current time of year helps properties feel inviting, well-maintained - and most importantly, fresh to the market.

But if a property is miles outside your usual patch, getting those updated shots can be a major logistical headache.

Our nationwide network of Viewber Members can handle the logistics for you.

With just 24 hours’ notice, we can capture fresh, seasonal photos on-demand. Whether you need a quick exterior-only reshoot to show off a tidy garden, or professional shots with blue sky edits for a grey day, we provide a rapid next day turnaround.

Available 7 days a week with zero contract commitments, you can time your reshoots perfectly with the changing weather.

The UK property sector rarely stands still, and the data from our nationwide network certainly backs that up. 🏡

Throughout last month, local Viewber Members were rushed off their feet covering everything from weekend buyer viewings to routine mid-term inspections and vital compliance checks right across the country.

Six years ago, we wrote about proptech companies worth keeping an eye on, including Matterport, Fixflo and Goodlord.

Today, they are tools that many property professionals use every day. 🏡

Proptech is no longer something the industry is experimenting with. It is standard practice.

And AI is now a big part of that. The Alto Software Agency Trends Report 2026 found that more than half of agents are prioritising AI this year. The most in-demand?

🔹 AI for compliance and anti-money laundering, with 66% of agents wanting to adopt it.
🔹 AI to manage leads and improve marketing.
🔹 Self-service portals for buyers and tenants.

There is also a lot happening in proptech right now:

➡️ Coadjute has launched Clara, a digital assistant for AML checks, designed for estate agents and home movers.

➡️ Benefitty has launched a rewards and cashback app for renters, offering discounts across more than 90 retail partners.

➡️ HomeLet and Let Alliance have integrated their Vision+ tenancy management platform with Street.co.uk, enabling letting agents to share data across both systems without double-keying.

➡️ Rightmove has refreshed its Plus dashboard, making it easier for agents to find key metrics including available stock, price reductions, new instructions and market share comparisons.

➡️ DM Hall LLP now provides instant Home Report quotes online for sellers in Scotland. Vendors can get a price using just their property address and pay online straight away.

We explore all of this and more in our blog. Read it here: https://viewber.co.uk/proptech-in-2026-how-digital-became-the-default-in-property
