Property appraisers: valuation visit preparation
How property appraisers can prepare valuation visits with online booking: visit services by property type, documents and access in the note, report meetings.
5 min read
A valuation visit goes faster when the owner has the plans, tax notices and recent works ready, and you know how to get in. Collecting that information by phone after each booking takes time. With Book, owners book a valuation visit on your own booking page, the description lists what to prepare, and the note collects access details.
Visit services by property type
On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description, all shown on your public page. Each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity.
| Service | Example slot | Places | Example price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Valuation visit, flat | 1 h | 1 | From €250 |
| Valuation visit, house | 1 h 30 | 1 | From €350 |
| Valuation visit, commercial premises | 2 h | 1 | |
| Report handover meeting | 45 min | 1 | Free |
Durations and prices are examples. Leave commercial prices empty if quoted per file.
What to prepare
Use each description to list documents to have ready, such as title deeds, plans, recent tax notices, works invoices and any lease, according to the rules that apply to your valuations.
Access in the note
The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note that reaches you in the new booking email. Ask for the address, whether the property is occupied, who will open, and the purpose of the valuation. Arrange keys by phone, not in the note.
Visits by area
Create visit services per area and day to keep travel short. Slots repeat weekly on the weekdays you choose until an end date. Each online booking takes one place, and a booked visit leaves your page.
Report handover from your list
When the report is ready, book a handover meeting yourself from your bookings list. First and last name are enough; with their email, the owner gets a confirmation with a calendar file.
Changes
Owners can't move or cancel online: they contact you, and you move the booking from your list. Book doesn't email clients about changes and sends no reminders. Your bookings sync with Google, iPhone or Mac calendars.
What Book doesn't do
Book doesn't write reports, store documents, take payments or send reminders. One booking page per business, no staff field. See the guide on report handover meetings. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
