If you search online for a property typing company, you’ll find plenty of businesses offering audio transcription and that’s certainly part of what we do.
But it doesn’t really describe the full service anymore.
For many of our clients, typing is only one part of the work they send us.
Traditional transcription is a straightforward yet professional skill. You dictate a report, send us the recording and we prepare the document in your chosen format.
At BackupTyping, we work with chartered surveyors and other property professionals who need accurate transcription and reliable turnaround times. Our earlier article What Is an Audio Typist? explains why industry experience matters.
But not every assignment begins with a recording. Some clients send us handwritten notes, others send scanned documents that need converting into editable Word files. Increasingly, we’re receiving drafts produced using speech-to-text.
The starting point may be different, but the requirement is usually the same: a professionally prepared document.
Our property typing services include document formatting, copy typing, photographic schedules and specialist report production.
We can work with your existing Word, Excel or PowerPoint templates, maintaining your preferred headings, layout and formatting. That consistency is particularly important for larger firms where reports may be prepared by several surveyors but need to follow the same company standards.
We also provide proofreading and quality checks as part of our document production process. Where something is unclear or needs technical confirmation, we will refer it back to the client rather than making assumptions.
Outsourcing doesn’t have to mean handing over everything. You might have an excellent in-house administrator but need additional help during busy periods.
Perhaps your surveyors prefer preparing their own drafts but would rather someone else dealt with the formatting. Or you may have a particularly large dilapidations schedule that needs producing quickly.
We can work alongside your existing arrangements without expecting you to change the way your business operates.
We’ve worked in property transcription and document production for more than 25 years. Our typists are familiar with the terminology, document types and formatting requirements used throughout the property industry.
We’re not here to tell you how to prepare your reports. We’re here to help you get them finished.
If you’re looking for a property typing company that understands surveying documents, call BackupTyping on 020 7096 1663 or email at hello@backuptyping.co.uk.
