Energy assessors visit homes, flats and business premises to measure how energy efficient they are and produce the certificate and advice that landlords and sellers often need. Most jobs are a fixed fee, booked by a homeowner, a landlord or an estate agent, and many assessors work alone, fitting several visits into a day. Getting paid at booking saves wasted trips when nobody is in. A payments app that takes payment when a visit is booked, or on the day, can win energy assessors, and every landlord, seller or agent who pays them sees your app.

Take payment when the visit is booked

A link sent with the booking confirmation lets the customer pay up front, so a missed visit does not cost the assessor a wasted trip.

Make agent payments simple

Agents who book many visits can pay each one with a link, or pay together, so the assessor is not chasing a pile of small invoices.

Grow through property businesses

Energy assessors work alongside letting agents, surveyors and insulation installers. When those businesses take payments through your app, each assessor can bring more of them onto it.
