Gateway Surveyors has announced that it has established a new partnership with software company, CoreLogic UK.

The surveying firm, which is Part of SimplyBiz, will be the first surveyor to go live with CoreLogic’s online valuation platform, ‘Remote Valuation Assist’. 

The system enables lenders to receive a valuation report in a way which is both more efficient and more environmentally sustainable, as it reduces the carbon footprint of surveyors physically inspecting the property.

CoreLogic’s Remote Valuation Assist platform uses local surveyor expertise, alongside third-party data and imagery, to provide improvements from traditional desktops and automated valuation models. The platform requires customers to provide data confirmation and geo located photographic evidence that demonstrates the property’s current internal state.

“Gateway has established a long working relationship with CoreLogic UK and is delighted to be the first surveying company to use Remote Valuation Assist in the live environment, where it has so many potential opportunities for our lender clients,” said Gateway chief executive, Pete Hughes.

“Considering ways in which we can improve our environmental, social and governance impact overall is key to Gateway’s long-term strategy, and I’m pleased to be able to offer a solution which is a step forward in terms of both functionality and sustainability.

“Gateway recognises the need to adapt to the ever-changing situations in the housing market, which are likely to evolve further over the coming years.”

CoreLogic UK chief operating officer, Mark Blackwell, added: “CoreLogic UK are excited to go live with Gateway using our Remote Valuation Assist product. Valuation services combining technology, data, surveyors and home occupiers is further evidence of how we are working in partnership with clients to help speed up mortgage offers, mitigate risk and maintain productivity.”
