When the evenings are darker, heading to a property viewing alone can sometimes feel uneasy.

At Viewber, we’ve seen firsthand how common this is across the industry.

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: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cwx7YFLcehI

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. ♻️

If your son or daughter is heading to university this year, you're probably already thinking about where they're going to live.

Halls of residence are usually the first port of call, and for good reason.

They're close to campus, offer built-in social opportunities, and give first-year students a low-risk way to find their feet.

But not every student gets to visit a property before making a decision.

Distance, work commitments, placement years, and clearing applications - there are plenty of reasons a viewing might not be possible.

👋 That's where Viewber comes in.

We can arrange for a trusted local Viewber to visit the property, take photos, write a detailed report, and hold a live video call so you can see it for yourself, anywhere in the UK, with no contract or minimum order.

It's a simple way to make sure your loved one feels confident before anything is signed.

Since 2006, the UK has had 15 Housing Secretaries and 20 housing ministers. That's a lot of change at the top.

And it raises a fair question: does it actually matter who's in charge?

The short answer is that it depends on who you are.

Whether you're a landlord who lived through the mortgage interest tax relief changes, a buyer who felt the Truss mini-budget land in your mortgage rate, or a renter waiting seven years for Section 21 reform to take effect, politics has a habit of reshaping the property market, sometimes slowly, sometimes overnight.

Our blog looks at how political instability - from sweeping legislative changes to budget shocks - has shaped the UK property market, and what it means for buyers, sellers, landlords, and renters right now.

The good news is that despite the turbulence, property remains resilient. And there's always a way to navigate the market, whatever the political weather.

Have you winced at the petrol pump recently? ⛽🚙

It turns out those rising fuel costs are doing a lot more than just making your commute more expensive - they are directly impacting the UK property market.

In our latest blog, we explore the hidden link between global oil prices and what's happening right here in the UK housing sector. We break down:

🏗️ Housebuilding hits: How rerouted shipments and fuel-heavy machinery are slowing down construction and driving up the cost of new homes.

📈 Mortgage rate hikes: Why market uncertainty and stubborn inflation are pushing fixed-rate mortgages up and making potential buyers cautious.

🚗 The cost of doing business: How spiralling pump prices are eating into estate agent and landlord margins.

The reality is, keeping a fleet of cars on the road for daily viewings and property checks is getting incredibly expensive.

But there is a simple way to cut your car reliance.

With Viewber's nationwide network, we have a local Viewber close to almost every property in the UK - many of whom can simply walk to their appointments!

Skip the expensive petrol. Ditch the parking fees. Let us handle your viewings, inspections, and contractor access using pedestrian power.

What does a £300,000 budget actually look like in today’s property market? 🏠💰

The answer depends entirely on where you are looking. In our latest location report, we took a nationwide look at what £300k can buy across the UK - and the regional property splits are wild.

Here is a quick snapshot of how far that exact budget stretches:

➡️ In London (Finsbury Park & Marylebone): You could secure a studio with a shoebox kitchen in Marylebone, or literally just a garage/workshop in Finsbury Park to rent out as a business prospect.

➡️ In Yorkshire (Redcar & Doncaster): Your money buys a 6 bedroom property across four floors with front-facing sea views in Redcar, or an 8 bedroom HMO in amazing condition in Doncaster.

➡️ In Liverpool & Manchester: You can opt for a chic 2 bedroom apartment in a prestigious skyscraper development, or a spacious 4/5 bedroom family home with HMO potential.

➡️ In Scotland: You can secure 2 acres of land with planning permission for 16 villas in Harthill, or even a remote, entire Scottish Island!

Whether you are an estate agent managing out of area listings or an investor hunting for high-yielding portfolios far from home, keeping tabs on properties across different regions can be a logistical headache.

That is exactly why property professionals use Viewber. With our UK wide network of local, trusted experts, we can preview properties, conduct inspections, and handle viewings in any postcode - saving you hours of travel and high hidden costs.
