The Skipton Building Society is to use enhanced automated valuation data (AVM) technology and an application programme interface (API) with Rightmove.

The mutual says more customers will benefit from an automated valuation at the point of application and may be able to receive day-one offers, provided the case has been properly packaged.

Karen Appleton, the Skipton’s head of new lending, added: “One of the ways we’re Making Things Easier for You is by combining the latest technology with the human touch, and working with Rightmove will help us achieve that. We believe the AVM and API technology will help us provide a faster, more accurate service.”

A spokesperson from Rightmove added: “By moving to our enhanced Automated Valuation Model, Skipton are benefitting from the increased accuracy, consistency and functionality that the new model offers, pulling in millions of data points from our property database and surveyor data records.

“Rightmove is committed to restless innovation and making home moving easier across the UK, and we’re excited to begin this roll-out of our new and improved tool.”
