Frequently asked questions
An Automated Valuation Model (AVM) uses property, market and transactional data to generate an estimated property value without requiring a physical inspection. AVMs are commonly used in lower-risk lending scenarios where sufficient data is available to support a confident valuation outcome.
AVMs are typically used where there is sufficient property and market data available to support a confident valuation outcome. Suitability is assessed against agreed lender criteria and risk requirements, helping ensure the most appropriate valuation route is selected.
Where a property falls outside agreed risk parameters or confidence thresholds, the case can be escalated to a Digital Valuation or Physical Valuation. This helps maintain appropriate governance while supporting efficient decision making.
AVMs are processed in real time, with results typically available within minutes. This makes them an efficient option for suitable lower-risk lending scenarios.
Yes. Automated outcomes can be reviewed against lender policies and risk criteria, with expert human oversight helping ensure the appropriate valuation route is applied where additional assurance is required.
No single valuation method is appropriate for every property. AVMs are most effective where sufficient market and property data exists. More complex or higher-risk properties may be better suited to a Digital or Physical Valuation.
