CLSQ introduces “instant” insured property valuations

Published on

CLSQ has launched VerifyQ, a service which provides instant insured property valuations to enable faster lending decisions.

The VerifyQ service utilises CLSQ’s data modelling capability with the backing of a significant insurer to provide data interrogation and insured decision on property valuations.

This provides lenders with recourse against loss should the property be repossessed, enabling mortgage decisions in principle (DIPs) with confidence levels and capital risk protection.

It also helps to reduce a lender’s carbon footprint, supporting greater sustainability in the mortgage sector.

“VerifyQ [provides] the ability to deliver instant insured property valuations for LTVs up to 95%”

Spencer Wyer

Spencer Wyer, strategic development director at CLSQ, said: “We’re excited to launch VerifyQ, which we believe is a gamechanger for mortgage lenders – offering the ability to deliver instant insured property valuations for LTVs up to 95%.

“VerifyQ validates a property’s valuation using a purpose-built insurability model that incorporates a range of data sources and lending criteria. This robust decisioning uniquely provides the industry’s first AA- rated insurance against loss for an automated valuation for a term of up to five years against losses on the outstanding loan amount in the event of a repossession.”

Rob Stevens, head of property risk at Nationwide, added: “Nationwide Building Society has used CLSQ’s extensive property data services as part of its mortgage processing for a few years now, and in the process, we have built a strong collaborative relationship with them.

Nationwide: impressed with initial VerifyQ results

“When they introduced their VerifyQ instant insured property valuation product, I could see the potential to increase automation and needed them to prove it. For several months now we’ve been running a proof of concept processing real world volumes of properties.

“The results we’ve seen from their insurability model combined with the recourse of the insurance is impressive and could result in increasing our ability to give mortgage customers instant valuation decisions.”
