For Residential home surveyors

AI call handling for
Residential home surveyors.

A home-survey enquiry often comes from a buyer who is excited about a property but unsure which questions to ask before committing. Ziverly can gather the property, purchase stage and concerns they already have, while you continue inspecting another home without offering a survey opinion before you have seen the building.

A familiar moment

The period-property enquiry arrives during another inspection

You are inspecting a roof space when a buyer rings about a Victorian terrace they hope to purchase. Ziverly can capture the property type, approximate age if known, location, buying stage, offer position, requested timing and any visible concerns or documents the buyer mentions. It does not choose a survey level, diagnose defects, value the property or comment on mortgage suitability.

Where Ziverly can help

More room for the work.
A clearer thread afterwards.

Buyers may not know which service they need

Property age, construction, condition, plans and the buyer's concerns all shape your explanation of suitable survey options.

Early observations can sound like conclusions

A crack, stain or altered wall should be recorded as the caller describes it, not interpreted before inspection.

An inspection should not be interrupted

Roof spaces, elevations, services and note-taking need full attention when another buyer calls.

What a better handover can change

Less interruption.
More useful context.

Property and buying stage are clear

See what is being purchased, where the buyer is in the process and when they hope the survey can happen.

Concerns remain in the buyer's own words

Receive the issues they have noticed without Ziverly turning them into a diagnosis or survey conclusion.

The next step can be carried forward

Add an approved availability update, document request or fee for that buyer so a repeat call begins with current information.

Before, during and after the call

How Ziverly fits around
your working day.

☎Calls you choose≡Useful details→Your next step
  1. You decide which calls reach Ziverly.

    Use the call-diversion options supported by your mobile or landline service, such as no reply, unreachable, busy or rejected. Turn them off again whenever you want to answer normally, or use cover for evenings, weekends, holidays and unexpected time away.

  2. Your call details meet you where you are.

    Choose email or SMS alerts where enabled, then open Ziverly to review the summary, transcript, recording where available, status and priority.

    Review the property type, age if known, location, purchase stage, timing, documents and concerns the buyer has described.

  3. The next conversation starts further forwards.

    Add an AI-facing note when you want Ziverly to have more context if the same known caller rings again. Separate private notes stay private.

    Add an approved availability, document, access or fee note so Ziverly can provide the buyer with the latest context if they return.

  4. Open calls do not have to rely on memory.

    Choose a daily or weekly email summary of calls still waiting for attention, at the time that best fits your working day.

  5. You can check in by phone, too.

    With Owner Voice Access enabled, call your own Ziverly number, verify your PIN and manage the calls you are allowed to see.

    Use PIN-protected Owner Voice Access to hear which survey enquiries await documents, availability or a response and update their status after the inspection.

You keep the judgement

Your expertise.
Your boundaries.

Surveying is not a generally protected activity; RICS-regulated firms and RICS Home Survey standards are influential consumer assurance markers.

You remain responsible for the advice you give, the work you accept and the safety, eligibility and professional checks your business requires.

A few practical questions

Before you
get started.

Talk it through →
Can Ziverly choose the right type of home survey?

No. It can gather the property and buyer's priorities, while you explain suitable services through your professional process.

Will it comment on a crack or damp mark?

No. Ziverly records what the buyer has observed but does not diagnose defects or anticipate inspection findings.

Can it provide a property valuation or mortgage advice?

No. It can capture the requested service, while valuation, lending and professional advice remain outside the introductory call.
