Valuation provider e.surv has announced a tie-in with equity release provider Pure Retirement.

Equity release cases currently account for approximately 1 in every 20 valuations e.surv complete, a figure the firm is looking to expand through the tie-in with Pure Retirement.

Pure Retirement was the first new equity release provider to be launched since June 2010. The Equity Release Council member will now be providing valuations across the UK.

Richard Sexton, e.surv’s director of business development, said: “It is exciting to see a new entrant to the sector. We are proud to be delivering our market leading services to this innovative new player, and further growing our reputation in this field.”

Paul Carter, managing director of Pure Retirement, added: “e.surv have a reputation for excellence in this market and we are delighted to add their services to our leading customer proposition.”
