How a job moves

Six moments, from first ring to report delivered.

Booking management for surveyors usually means a diary, a spreadsheet and a dozen email threads that never quite match up. Here, one record carries the job the whole way.

1

An enquiry lands — and finds its surveyor

From your directory profile, your own website, a phone call logged through Telephony, or from Homemove itself. The CRM matches the enquiry to the surveyors at your firm who cover that product and postcode, so it starts life assigned rather than sitting in a shared inbox waiting for someone to claim it.

2

The quote goes out as a link, not an attachment

Build the quote on the job and send it as a public quote link — the client opens it on their phone, no login, no account, and can accept and pay right there. The moment they do, the job moves itself to Paid. Nothing to chase, nothing to reconcile: Payments handles the money side.

3

A slot hold keeps the diary honest

Client still deciding between Tuesday and Thursday? Place a 15-minute hold on the slot. It appears in the diary as a "Held until 14:23" pill so a colleague can't double-book it, converts to a real booking in one tap when the client confirms, and quietly releases itself if they don't. No pencilled-in entries that outlive the conversation.

4

Booked — and the rate is locked

The booking drops into the surveyor's diary in Calendars & Requests, terms of engagement go out with it via Documents & e-sign, and whichever rate applies under the rate ladder is fixed at that moment — it cannot drift between booking and invoice.

5

Inspection day — the job reads In progress

The card sits in In progress while the survey is carried out. The property record is already on the job — address, type, detail from Property Viewer — and most firms write the report itself on Otto, which is lever ③ of the same rate ladder.

6

Delivered — the card reaches Completed

The report goes to the client — securely, through the customer portal if you use it — and the job completes. Payment was handled back at step two, so there is no invoice to raise and nobody to chase. The record stays put: property, emails, documents and money, all still attached if a question comes up months later.

The board

Watch a job cross the board.

Keep scrolling — the cards glide lane to lane the way real jobs do. And when Homemove books a job for you, it doesn't start at Enquiry. It arrives in Booked, already paid.

All job cards illustrative — generic names, no real customers. The live board also carries parking lanes: On hold, Nurturing, Lost, Unqualified.

The real screen

Not a mock-up. The actual pipeline.

The live Bookings CRM as a firm sees it — the pinned views along the top, search above the list, and every job a row you can open.

The real home.co.uk bookings pipeline on a MacBook — a job list with views for All Bookings, Homemove Bookings, All Enquiries and Paid Not Booked, a search bar in the top bar and a Filters control above the job rows

Views, not tabs — pin the ones your firm lives in

All Bookings Homemove Bookings All Enquiries Paid Not Booked Uncontacted Need Followup On Hold Completed

All Bookings and All Enquiries are always pinned, so the bar is never empty. The rest you pin, unpin and reorder to match how your firm actually works — and the whole pipeline is searchable by name, address or reference from the global search, on every view.

Homemove managed bookings

Your sales force. Now your admin force too.

When Homemove books a survey on your behalf, the job doesn't arrive as an email to re-type. It lands directly in your pipeline — in the Booked lane, paid, with everything a booking needs already on the record.

The customer, attached

Name and contact details on the job from the moment it lands — plus any special instructions passed on at booking.

The property and product, attached

The address and the survey type booked — so the right surveyor and the right template are obvious before anyone picks up a phone.

The payment, already cleared

The consumer paid Homemove before the job reached you. Nothing to invoice, nothing to chase — Payments shows the money side at a glance.

What's left for you

Check the slot suits your diary, carry out the survey, deliver the report — ideally written on Otto. That's the whole job.

Between appointments

A new job just landed. Already paid.

Make it yours

A fixed backbone. Your firm's language on top.

The seven pipeline phases never move — that's what keeps the board legible. Everything above them bends to how your firm actually talks about work.

Statuses your firm owns

The first time you customise, the default statuses are copied into your firm's own set. From then on: rename them, recolour them, reorder them, add new ones. Each anchors to a fixed phase so the board never loses shape — and removing a status keeps every lead's history intact.

Statuses that do things

Attach actions to any status: create a task with a due date and an assignee, or queue an email from a template — either prompted for a human check, or fully automatic. "Quote sent" can chase itself three days later without anyone remembering to.

Filters you describe, not build

Need a view the presets don't cover? Describe it in plain English — "paid enquiries over £400 I haven't contacted in a week" — and the AI filter builds it for you, ready to save and pin next to All Bookings. No query builder, no training session.

On the record

One card carries the whole job.

Open any job and the full picture is already there — and every job you run here quietly works a lever of your rate.

Anatomy of a job card

Customer, property, product, payment, assignment, correspondence — attached to one record, not scattered across a diary, a spreadsheet and three inboxes. When a question comes up months after completion, the answer is one click, not an archaeology dig.

The pipeline is lever ②

From 1 August 2026, four levers set your rate on Homemove panel work and private bookings. Running your pipeline through this CRM is lever ② — and whichever rate applies is locked the moment a job is booked. Full maths on the rate ladder.

Every lead, in context

Four things you'll never re-key again.

The rest of the operating system feeds the job record, so context arrives attached instead of copied across.

Property intel

The property behind the job — address, type and detail from Property Viewer — attaches automatically, not re-typed from an email signature.

Email threads

Every message with the client lands against the booking it belongs to, in Mail — nothing lost between a personal inbox and the job.

Documents

Terms of engagement, ID checks and the final report attach to the same record via Documents & e-sign — the paper trail follows the booking.

Payment status

Paid, pending or awaiting a slot — visible on the card, reconciled in Payments. No separate statement to cross-check on a Friday afternoon.

A pipeline day

Morning post. Kerbside confirm. Board clear by dusk.

Command-centre calm isn't a dashboard aesthetic. It's what a day feels like when nothing about a job lives only in someone's head.

Morning

The overnight enquiries, already assigned

Everything that arrived since yesterday is on the board, matched to whoever covers the product and postcode. Coffee first; nothing needs triaging.

Between jobs

A hold converts from the kerb

The client says yes; one tap turns the held slot into a booking, and the rate locks at that moment. The card glides to Booked without a phone call to the office.

Dusk

Nothing left in anyone's head

Every job is a card in a lane with its money, emails and documents attached. Lock the door. The pipeline remembers so you don't have to.

Built for the team

One pipeline, however many of you there are.

Sole trader or six surveyors and two admins — every seat is included, and the board behaves the same for all of them.

Assigned by coverage

New enquiries match to the surveyors who cover that product and postcode, with each one's availability shown — so allocation is a glance, not a group chat.

Live presence

Avatars on the lead show who else is viewing it right now — so two people never ring the same client about the same job within the same hour.

Quiet-job nudges

A card that hasn't moved for three days or more carries a "3d quiet" pill on the board — stalled work announces itself instead of hiding at the bottom of a list.

Every seat included

Surveyors and admins alike work the same board, the same views, the same records — with no per-seat charge deciding who gets to see the pipeline.

How it compares

The spreadsheet, the practice suite, or this.

Most firms run one of three systems. Only one of them knows when Homemove has already paid you.

Lever ②

Running your pipeline here counts towards your rate.

① Live diary ② Pipeline in our CRM ③ Reports written on Otto ④ Fast turnarounds

From 1 August 2026 we no longer set one flat rate per firm — four levers earn your best rate on both Homemove panel work and private bookings: your live diary, your pipeline running through this CRM, reports written on our tech, and fast turnarounds. Whichever rate applies is locked in the moment a job is booked.

The Bookings CRM is lever ② — every job tracked here instead of by phone or spreadsheet moves you up the rate ladder on the Join page. Keep your diary current in Calendars & Requests and connect Payments to work all four levers from the same account.

Getting started

Your pipeline, live in three steps.

No migration project, no onboarding call, no card details. The CRM is already in your account the day your firm is verified.

Step 1

Claim your firm

Search for your firm by name or postcode — most RICS-regulated firms are already listed. Not there? Register in the same panel. The CRM activates with your verified listing.

Step 2

Invite the team

Add every surveyor and admin — seats are included. Set who covers which products and postcodes, and new enquiries will start arriving pre-assigned to the right person.

Step 3

Work the board

Enquiries, quotes, holds, bookings, reports — one lane at a time. Homemove managed bookings start landing pre-paid the moment your panel work begins, with no setup at all.

FAQ

Common questions about the Bookings CRM

Getting started & cost

Does this replace my CRM?

Yes — and it's free, built directly into your Home.co.uk account. There's nothing extra to buy, install or set up separately, so it's an easy swap for whatever spreadsheet or practice-management tool you were paying for before. Your pipeline, your diary (Calendars & Requests), your mail and your payments all live in the same account.

What does it cost?

Nothing. The Bookings CRM is part of the free Home.co.uk platform every RICS-verified firm gets — no subscription, no per-seat charge, and running your pipeline through it counts towards lever ② of the surveyor rate ladder.

Can my whole team use it?

Yes. Team seats are included, so every surveyor and admin at your firm works from the same pipeline, the same views and the same job records. Live presence avatars show you when a colleague is looking at the same lead, so two people never call the same client twice.

Is my pipeline private to my firm?

Yes. The pipeline is scoped to your firm — every job, view, status and email thread belongs to your organisation and is only visible to the seats you invite. Other firms on the platform cannot see your work.

Homemove jobs

Do I have to re-key Homemove jobs?

No. Homemove managed bookings land in your pipeline automatically, with the customer, property and payment already attached. There's nothing to type in and nothing to reconcile by hand — the job simply appears, ready to book into your diary.

What is the Homemove Bookings view?

A pinned view showing only the jobs Homemove has booked and paid on your behalf. All Bookings and All Enquiries are always pinned so the bar is never empty; Homemove Bookings and Paid Not Booked are pinned by default, and you can pin, unpin and reorder the rest — Uncontacted, Need Followup, On Hold, Refunded, Completed and more.

Does using the CRM change my rate?

Yes. From 1 August 2026, four levers set your rate on Homemove panel work and private bookings: a live diary, a pipeline running through this CRM, reports written on our tech, and fast turnarounds. The Bookings CRM is lever ②, and whichever rate applies is locked the moment a job is booked. See the rate ladder on the Join page for the full maths.

Pipeline, quotes & holds

What are the pipeline stages?

The board runs New, Contacted, Quoted, Paid, Booked, In progress and Completed — the fixed backbone every job moves along. Four parking phases sit alongside for jobs that stall: On hold, Nurturing, Lost and Unqualified. On top of those fixed phases your firm can define its own granular statuses.

Can I rename statuses or add my own?

Yes. Statuses are firm-owned: the first time you customise, the defaults are copied into your firm's own set, and from then on you can rename, recolour, reorder, add and remove them. Each status anchors to one of the fixed pipeline phases so the board stays coherent — and removing a status keeps every lead reference intact, so no history is lost.

How do slot holds work?

When a client is deciding, place a 15-minute hold on a diary slot (extendable up to 60 minutes). The slot shows as a "Held until 14:23" pill in the diary so nobody double-books it, converts to a real booking in one tap when the client confirms — or releases automatically when it expires. No pencilled-in entries that outlive the conversation.

How do quotes reach the client?

As a public quote link the client opens on their phone — no login, no account. They accept and pay from the link, and the job moves itself to Paid. Anything paid but not yet in the diary surfaces in the Paid Not Booked view, so it never sits forgotten.

Day-to-day on the board

How are new enquiries assigned?

By coverage. When an enquiry lands, the CRM matches it to the surveyors at your firm who cover that product and postcode, and shows each one's availability so it can be placed sensibly. You can always reassign by hand.

Can I search and filter the whole pipeline?

Yes. A global search finds any job by name, address or reference, and filters cover product and date on every view. You can also build an AI filter: describe the list you want in plain English — "paid enquiries over £400 I haven't contacted in a week" — and the filter builds itself, ready to save and pin.

How do I spot jobs that have gone quiet?

Any card that hasn't moved for three days or more carries a quiet-job pill showing how many days it has sat still — "3d quiet" — so stalled work is visible at a glance on the board rather than buried in a list.

The Bookings CRM works alongside the rest of the operating system — see how it fits with Calendars & Requests, Mail and Payments.
