VAS Valuation Group has expanded its library of short education videos.

The videos answer the most common questions about the valuation sector and five new resources have been added.

For VAS Panel, Stephen Todd, its chief commercial officer and co-founder, addresses sales history and the Landlord and Tenant Act while Andrew Murdoch, valuation panel director, tackles the concept of cash value and what is meant by ‘rely on’.

David Birch, valuation audit director also considers the question: why are technically correct valuation instructions essential?

Knowledge Hub’s number of one-to-two minute videos now stands 24 with a further six currently being recorded.

The majority of questions have been submitted by brokers and lenders through VAS Valuation Group’s Contact Us page on their website and through their LinkedIn profile.

Todd (pictured) said: “Our lender and broker clients are using the resource in a variety of ways, some have created standalone educational programmes within their businesses so staff get an in-depth overview of the valuations sector while other dip in-and-out depending on the case in front of them. Either works.

“I’ve said many times that education really is key to understanding how valuations sit so importantly within the financial chain and how, with a bit more knowledge, brokers and lenders can make this important step in the process a more seamless and rewarding experience.”
