Introducing split chains, consumer view, note enhancements, along with so much more!

  2. Split Chains

    Split chains are now supported in ViewMyChain, allowing you to view the entire chain in single view. Whether two properties are being sold to buy one or one property is being sold with two onward purchases, we have you covered.

    It is simple to build or break a split chain. For more information on this feature, please view our 'How to' guide here.

    You now have the ability to attach the buyer and seller case handler to the listing, if the contact has been created within ViewMyChain. Another way to attach a conveyancer contact, if you cannot find it in ViewMyChain, is through the 'View Details' button, which will pull through the company's staff members from AgencyCloud.
