Michael Booth, Head of Data Sales at e.surv Chartered Surveyors, comments: “The world of lending is changing, and valuations need to evolve with it. Lenders are currently navigating a complex, multi-supplier valuation process that’s often slow and inconsistent. The solution? I’d like to introduce you all, to e.survIQ.

e.survIQ is more than just property risk, data and valuations. It’s about bringing together market-leading elements of each of those, all under one roof, in one end-to-end ecosystem. It’s about giving lenders the confidence to make faster, smarter, and safer lending decisions.
Why is an all-in-one property risk, data, and valuation approach so crucial right now? The mortgage market in the UK has changed significantly over the past few years. Borrowers expect faster mortgage decisions, and lenders who can deliver will win more business. At the same time, lenders can’t afford to cut corners; every decision needs to be backed by strong property risk management and compliance.
Traditional methods must integrate with new technology and technical expertise to keep up with demand. Lenders can’t afford long delays, conflicting valuations, or inefficiencies between AVMs, remote, and physical valuations. Every delay in valuation could lead to a delayed mortgage decision, resulting in customer frustration and potential loss of business.
Technologies such as AI and machine learning are already reshaping how financial services operate. e.survIQ is powered by next-generation machine learning models, real-time data, and expert human oversight. Traditional lenders who don’t adapt risk losing market share to faster, more agile competitors. However, those who integrate smarter valuation processes will be able to offer better service without increasing risk.
The lenders that will thrive in the future are the ones who embrace innovation today. e.survIQ is leading this change, and as lenders, you have the opportunity to be at the forefront of this transformation. The future of property valuations isn’t coming; it’s already here.
