Call Handling — Chartered & Building Surveyors

Sale chain at risk.
Buyer needed a surveyor today.
No answer. Chain broke.

A surveyor on a survey cannot take calls — and property transactions don't wait. A buyer needing a HomeBuyer Report with a mortgage offer about to expire, a conveyancer chasing survey results, or a new instruction from an estate agent — all of these need a fast response. ForgeMason captures every instruction, flags every urgent chain query, and has the details structured and ready when you're back from the survey.

FAQ

Questions from surveyors.

Can ForgeMason handle instructions from mortgage lenders, estate agents and direct clients?+
Yes. ForgeMason identifies the source of the instruction — direct from buyer, referred by mortgage lender, from an estate agent, or from a conveyancer — and captures the relevant details for each source type. Lender referrals are captured with panel membership details; direct instructions capture the property chain context.
What happens with urgent calls about survey results or defects discovered?+
Calls from clients or conveyancers regarding urgent defects, structural concerns flagged in a report, or requests for emergency follow-up surveys are flagged as high priority. The client's name, property address and nature of the concern are captured and sent immediately to the relevant surveyor.
Is there a minimum contract?+
No minimum contract. Rolling monthly. No setup fee.
