Skyline at the Sava Residential Expo 2025

At Skyline we’ve really pushed the boat out for this year’s Sava Residential Expo.

For us the Expo is a great opportunity to showcase all the new products and features that we’ve been working on recently. And this year we’ve gone overboard!

Our focus as survey writing software providers remains on supporting surveyors in their day-to-day work, improving efficiency, and helping the profession adapt to changes in regulation, technology, and client expectations 

At Skyline we don’t stand still. We’re continually innovating and “thinking outside the box” to deliver industry-leading developments designed to help you work smarter.

So, what’s the highlights for 2025?

Skyline CONNECT

What is it?

CONNECT is our new “survey lifecycle” tool. It joins together all the key landmarks of a survey from initial quote through to report delivery. 

But it’s not just a tracker (though it does that), and it’s not just a tool to keep your records all together (though it does that too, which is great for compliance). 

And it’s not just a messaging service (yup, it does that as well), nor is it just a progress dashboard (which, of course, it also is)……so what is it?

CONNECT is a completely different way of managing your survey instructions. Through a purpose-built Customer Portal Area it allows you to communicate in real time, just like you would on WhatsApp, but all within the Skyline environment. 

That means that you can instantly deliver invoices, T&C’s, completed reports, and get immediate responses, payments and authorisations from your client. And every interaction , and every document, is recorded and delivered in a case-pack for total accountability. 

Combined with the integrated desktop dashboard, whether you’re a single or multi-surveyor practice you’ll be on top of every instruction, every minute, now and into the future.

Home Insight Survey

What is it?

Home Insight Survey is the first survey product created to meet the combined needs of sellers, buyers, estate agents and conveyancers. It’s a “sellers survey.”

Intended to be commissioned by a property seller, at the point of first marketing, Home Insight Survey can be relied upon by the seller, prospective buyers, a successful buyer, estate agents and conveyancers.

Why is this so important, and why now? Government and industry are striving to make the home moving process quicker, more reliable and less stressful. And delivering more information earlier in the process is seen as playing a fundamental role in achieving those ambitions.

The overwhelming majority (89%*) of buyers say they would welcome property condition information at an early stage, and the benefits that an upfront survey bring are hugely significant. Amongst these are a reduction in fall-throughs (currently running at a third of all transactions), avoidance of late renegotiation, and a massive reduction in the stress caused by the uncertainty of the current process. 

Home Insight Survey is truly groundbreaking as it doesn’t just include information about the condition of the property, but also covers health & safety matters, conveyancing concerns, environmental information, Material Information (which agents have to ensure is provided to buyers) and advice about relevant climate change risks, something that conveyancers are duty-bound to ensure their clients have been informed about.

Seller-commissioned surveys are not part of the home moving landscape at the moment, but the direction of travel indicates that they almost certainly will start to gather momentum in the coming months and years. And Skyline are there first and are leading the way!

Free Student Software

For surveying students we’ve got something really special 

Firstly, all bone-fide students (not just Sava, but those from degree and other courses too) get completely free access to Skyline. But it’s not just a way to write survey reports. We include use of our standards texts (currently used by many fee-earning surveyors on a daily basis), and all the knowledge and expertise that we bring to the survey creation process. 

We’ve even got bespoke reporting formats for students who are restricted on the style of reports they must submit for assessments.

Students often struggle with gaining the experience of how to construct client-pleasing reports. With Skyline we guide you through the report writing process so you can hit the ground running on day-1 of your surveying career.

These are just some of the highlights of this year’s offering at the Sava Expo, so make sure you com and take a look at the industry’s leading survey writing software provider.
