Twenty7Tec has integrated with WhenFresh, a provider of aggregated property data solutions, allowing users of CloudTwenty7 to access property attribute data and valuations as part of the mortgage sourcing process.
WhenFresh collates over 200 proprietary, private and public datasets in one place to form what it calls “a UK residential property data supermarket, covering virtually every property in the UK”.
Property data from WhenFresh can now be automatically populated into the CloudTwenty7 platform. The data available includes property type, property style, property tenure, years left on lease, presence of flying freehold, number of floors, wall construction, roof construction, age of property and a property valuation range modelled by WhenFresh data scientists.
Where the proposed property valuation falls within the property valuation range, WhenFresh says it is highly likely that the property is transacting at the correct value and that the lender is likely to be able to proceed with an AVM rather than a full valuation, reducing costs and speeding up the application process for the client.
WhenFresh data is used by eight of the top 10 high street banks, the Bank of England and a number of insurers.
Phil Bailey (pictured), sales director at Twenty7Tec, said: “Advisers will find that this solution means that they are instantly able to access key data about a property, helping them quickly select the most appropriate lender for their client.
“The valuation ranges provided by WhenFresh will also support advisers in understanding how realistic their clients are being on their assumed valuation, what the likely LTV for that loan is going to be and provide a strong indication of the extent to which the case is likely to pass easily via an AVM, as opposed to being referred for a physical survey.”
James Tucker, CEO of Twenty7Tec, said: “Our mission at Twenty7Tec is to make things easier for the customer, and for all others involved in the house buying process. This is a significant step forward in terms of making the process simpler, faster and more efficient.
“Advisers will no longer need to ask the customer for property details or estimated valuations as this will already be available to them inside our platform. In our experience, that time saved means advisers get to spend more time with their clients, giving them better, more tailored advice.”
WhenFresh co-founder and CEO Mark Cunningham, added: “Whilst we already supply data to many of the banks, it’s great to see that selected WhenFresh property data will, for the first time, be put in the hands of thousands of mortgage brokers while they process live applications via the Twenty7Tec platform.
“It’s exactly how WhenFresh property data should be used, in making the mortgage process faster, simpler and less expensive for all parties, so we’re delighted to be supporting James and the excellent Twenty7Tec team to fulfil their vision.”
