Surveyor Desktop Research walks you through a structured, map-based workflow. At every step you review official data, add your own commentary — with optional AI drafting — and build a professional report that stays under your control.
A guided workflow, one property at a time
1. Start a research file
Search by postcode or address. Each property gets its own research file holding every dataset, screenshot and comment.
2. Fine-tune the location
Drag the pin to the exact building so every risk and mapping layer relates to the correct coordinates.
3. Gather the data
Ground, mining, flood, crime, schools, listed buildings, protected land, planning, price paid and EPC — pulled from national sources.
4. Add your judgement
Review each layer and write proportionate commentary. Ask for an AI suggestion when you want a first draft.
5. Analyse
A single review hub brings every dataset together so you can decide what belongs in the report.
6. Generate the report
Produce a formatted report, then refine it in the built-in word processor before you download it.
AI assists, you stay in control. Generative AI helps with summarising and drafting, but the final wording — and the professional responsibility — always remain yours.
