At Spec, our goal is to keep the market moving by enabling people to share and view properties virtually, in the comfort of their home.

Our top priority is the health of our Digital Surveyors, the community, and you, our customers.

To ensure the market can keep moving, we have updated our capture criteria and will now be accepting orders for tenanted properties. We ask that you adhere to our capture criteria and policy and inform your staff, landlords, and tenants of these updates.

Capturable properties: We're pleased to share we can now capture properties with no limit on the number of bedrooms or sizes.

Occupant guidance: Properties with self-isolating occupants cannot be captured.

Online booking: You can now book online through spec.co/agent.

Thank you for your ongoing trust and confidence in Spec and we look forward to resuming our service under these updated terms and conditions. We will continue to review the above based on latest Government guidance and market conditions.

If you have any concerns or questions please contact your Spec Account Manager.

If you’re an agent but not signed up yet, get in touch with our team and we’ll be happy to help.

COVID-19 Capture Policy

Version: 1.5

Social distancing

The health and safety of our digital surveyors, our customers, and the community are of paramount importance to us. 

Therefore any Digital Surveyor will adhere to government guidance around social distancing which can be found on the Government’s website. 

This includes:

• Staying at least 2 metres away from any other person at all times
• Never coming into physical contact with another human being of a different household
• Washing hands frequently for 20 seconds
• Using disinfectant when handling keys and door handles and surfaces

Occupant guidance

The health and safety of our Digital Surveyors, our customers, and the community are of paramount importance to us.

We ask that all agents adhere to to the following guidance on tenanted properties.

• Properties with self-isolating occupants cannot be captured
• Occupants can be present during the capture, but must observe social distancing measures (currently 2 meters)
• Occupants are asked to wipe down light switches and door handles with disinfectant
• We reserve the right to cancel a capture should occupants be present, or should the property fall outside of our capture criteria

Direct Debit

Spec’s ability to continue to deliver the services that you have come to know at scale, and at a market leading price, is predicated on our ability to ensure timely and streamlined payment for services and assets delivered.
