Cotality has announced a strategic partnership with Yorkshire Building Society to integrate its Lender Hub platform.

Through the deal, the building society will be able to access Cotality’s automated valuation model (AVM) services and residential property energy efficiency data.

The partnership is part of the Yorkshire’s digital transformation and sustainability strategy, which aims to enhance its mortgage processes with real-time property valuations and deeper insight into energy performance.

This change is set to enable smarter lending decisions while helping the society meet the evolving needs of its members and regulatory expectations around energy performance.

The AVM service leverages advanced modelling techniques and market data to deliver reliable property valuations, reducing time to offer and minimising the need for physical inspections.

The inclusion of EPC ratings and granular energy performance indicators supports lenders’ assessments of property-level climate risk, preparing for potential regulatory shifts and helping members understand and improve home efficiency.

Director of credit risk at Yorkshire Building Society, Simon Martin, said: "We are committed to making good homes possible for more people.

"By integrating Cotality’s Lender Hub for AVM and EPC data, we’re not only improving operational efficiency—we’re giving our teams the insight to make better decisions around affordability, property condition and long-term sustainability."

Chief operating officer at Cotality, Mark Blackwell, added: "Yorkshire Building Society understands that the future of lending is both digital and data-driven.

"We’re proud to support their journey with technology that brings accuracy, speed, and sustainability insight together—enabling more informed, more efficient and more effective lending."
