One Mortgage System (OMS), the single-input enquiry to completion processing platform for brokers, has partnered with Countrywide Home Surveys, part of Countrywide Surveying Services.

The company claims that the new partnership will provide OMS users with a bespoke referral service, providing friendly, professional concierge support with competitive survey fees, access to over 400 qualified surveyors nationwide and generous referral fees paid to the broker. 

Recent consumer research by Countrywide Surveying Services (CSS) and Pegasus Insight, showed that 88% of consumers who used a home condition survey said they would do so again. Additionally, 92% of respondents reported that their survey gave them peace of mind. 

The research also found that 60% of home condition surveys uncovered previously unknown property issues, a key factor in helping buyers avoid unexpected costs and post-purchase complications.

OMS claims to offer the only end-to-end platform for such a wide range of product areas including residential, buy-to-let, second charge, equity release, bridging, commercial plus general insurance and protection.

Jodie Andrews, head of marketing and partnerships at One Mortgage System (OMS), says: “Our partnership with Countrywide fills an important gap in terms of the partnerships we offer our users and so we’re delighted to partner with one of the leading surveying firms in the sector and offer users a bespoke referral service.”

Helen Stead, head of Countrywide Home Surveys, Countrywide Surveying Services, says: “Brokers are a fundamental element in the homebuying process for the majority and so helping brokers and their clients understand the value of a survey/condition report is something we are keen to develop and promote.”
