How much damage can a few weeks of heavy rain actually do to an empty house? 🏠 The UK has just seen some of its wettest winter weather on record in 2026. For anyone managing vacant buildings, the risks of flooding, damp, and structural issues are huge right now. The numbers from recent reports paint a clear picture: ➡️ Cornwall, Leicestershire, and the West Midlands saw their wettest winters since 1836. ➡️ February 2026 was 70% wetter than average across England. ➡️ Average flood payouts to homeowners surged by 60% to £30,000 per claim in 2025. Empty properties are especially vulnerable to water damage. Without someone checking in, a minor leak or rising damp can quickly lead to massive repair bills. In fact, most insurance policies require property visits every seven days to keep your cover valid. We put together a comprehensive guide on protecting empty properties from severe wet weather. Read the full blog here: viewber.co.uk/uks-wettest-wi… If you need a reliable way to keep an eye on things, Viewber offers regular property checks to help you protect your empty properties, rain or shine. Have you ever dealt with unexpected water damage in a property? How did you spot it? Let us know in the comments! #PropertyManagement #UKHousing #RealEstate

As we celebrate the monumental 1 MILLION appointments milestone, we’re taking a moment to look back at where it all began. To kick things off, our Co-Founder and Chief Executive, Ed Mead, reflects on the early days, the graft, and what he’s most proud of today. Q: What was the first big goal or vision for the company? Ed: The initial goal was to provide a kind of temp weekend viewing service for estate agents. I knew from my time at Douglas & Gordon that we had one person in on a Saturday, and their diary was full on the previous Monday afternoon. Q: Any funny or memorable moments while building the company? Ed: It took three months to do our first 100 appointments. We used to get friends to ring up their kids at universities all over the UK and pay them to open doors. We’d even make donations to local churches if vicars would open doors for us. There’s nothing we wouldn’t try. Q: Looking back on the journey to 1 million, what are you most proud of? Ed: Mainly clients sticking with us - no big client has ever left! That, alongside the fact that we give so much incidental employment and enjoyment to thousands of Viewber members. Speaking of clients sticking around, we now serve 15,000+ clients across the UK, which means we have more clients than there are villages in Britain! 🏘️ From those early days of doing whatever it took to get the business off the ground, to an extraordinary nationwide network, thank you to everyone who has trusted us to do business for them. Here’s to 1 million appointments, and counting! 🎉 #ViewberHits1Million #PropertyManagement #PropertySupport

Heading to a property viewing alone can sometimes feel uneasy. After decades with little change in lone-worker safety, we knew something had to be done, so we created ViewBuddy. Originally designed to help our Viewber Members stay safe on appointments, ViewBuddy has since evolved into a simple, effective safety app that’s completely free for anyone to use, whether you work in property or not. 🎧 In this short video, our Co-Founder Ed Mead shares the story behind why we built it: youtube.com/watch?v=Cwx7YF… Here’s how it works: 1️⃣ Set a timer for your appointment or trip and choose your ‘buddies’ (friends, family, or colleagues). 2️⃣ If you don’t check out on time, your buddies automatically receive an alert with your location. 3️⃣ Feeling uneasy? Enter your PIN backwards to discreetly trigger a silent distress alert. From property professionals and companies looking to help keep their teams safe, to friends heading on solo trips or family members attending evening appointments, ViewBuddy helps keep everyone safer. Download it free from the App Store or Google Play Store, and if you think it could help someone you know, please share or repost to help spread the word. ♻️ #EstateAgent #LoneWorker #PropertySafety

Does the number of photos in an online listing actually impact a property's asking price? It is often said that a picture can paint a thousand words, and recent research suggests it may also help boost a home's value. Data from London lettings and estate agent Benham and Reeves has revealed a stark disparity in asking prices depending on how extensively a property is marketed. An analysis of current for-sale listings across England highlighted some interesting trends: 🔹 Homes marketed with four photos or fewer carry an average asking price of £200,000. 🔹 Properties featuring five or more images are listed at an average of £280,000. 🔹 This represents a price gap of £80,000 on average. The difference is even more pronounced in areas like the South West, where homes with limited photography are priced nearly 93% lower than those with extensive marketing.

Did you know the average property transaction now takes over 17 weeks to complete? A new report reveals that the instruction-to-completion time has stretched to 123 days, an 18% increase since 2019. This is a far cry from the 6.78 weeks consumers say would be their ideal timeframe from SSTC to completion. So, what's causing these delays, and what can be done about them? The research points to a few key areas: ⏰ 42% of conveyancers cite transaction timescales as their biggest frustration, followed by workload (35%). 🏠 A massive 89% of sellers would instruct a conveyancer before listing if it resulted in a faster sale. 💻 78% of law firms now use AI to support fee earners, and 39% agree that digitising additional processes would increase productivity.

The social housing sector is under immense pressure. Legislative changes like Awaab’s Law and The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 are driving much-needed improvements in tenant safety, but they’ve also put extra strain on already overstretched teams. For instance: ➡️ 36% of organisations report over 20% annual staff turnover. ➡️ Burnout is the second most common reason for staff leaving. ➡️ Compliance demands are growing faster than resources can keep up. With so much focus on inspections, accountability, and audit trails, many teams are stuck in reactive mode, struggling to balance tenant support with compliance requirements. This has resulted in growing backlogs, disjointed processes, and mounting stress. 👉 Read our full article to learn more about these challenges: viewber.co.uk/social-housing… It’s clear that the sector needs more support, both for the people delivering these services and the systems they rely on. That’s why at Viewber, we provide scalable, on-demand property services to help social housing teams stay proactive, preserve desk time, and maintain bulletproof audit trails.
