SDL Surveying has announced that it received and completed a record number of jobs during June, with 73% of its surveyors completing six or more jobs every single day of the month.

The residential surveying and valuations firm returned to physical inspections on properties in England on 13 May, following the Government’s easing of lockdown restrictions, and said that its first full completed month since was a record one for the business.

SDL also revealed that it has continued to grow its workforce by recruiting more in-house surveyors and adding to its network of independent partner firms.

During June, the firm trained six surveyors remotely and they had started work within the business, with four more offers having been made to new surveyors. SDL also trained 14 new network panel surveyors in the month to further expand its surveying capacity.
  
The firm said it continued to see growing demand for its services with its operational team experiencing extremely high call volumes during June. 

“Given that June was our first full month back out in the field conducting physical inspections since the lockdown restrictions were eased, we anticipated that our numbers would look strong,” SDL managing director, Simon Jackson, commented.

“However, even we have been surprised by the significant demand, the growth in appointments, and the number of jobs our surveyors were able to complete.
 
“This was a record month on many counts, and in order to maintain those levels and to continue the quality of our service, we have needed to recruit more staff both internally as part of operations and surveying services, but also bringing on board more network panel firms.
 
“It will be interesting to see how the market kicks on from here, and what impact the Government announcement on stamp duty will begin to have, but we’re optimistic of growing levels of activity throughout the rest of 2020 and into next year.”
