Method launches Valuer Portal

Method has today launched the fifth portal out of six being deployed as part of its cloud based valuation management system.

In order to provide the efficient and cost effective solution Method believes the market needs, it is important that Valuers can connect to the management system. The system is being designed in such a way as to provide secure on-line contact between the parties which will be made available to Lender Clients as part of a comprehensive case history summary which will allow lenders to fully comply with the requirements of “Treating Customers Fairly” (TFC).

Managing Director, Mark Robertson MRICS, said

“Being able to record all communications between the parties involved in a valuation is a fundamental part of the transparency the market is crying out for. The days of Panel Managers being able to obscure communications and contacts for their own purposes are clearly numbered. Digital solutions are allowing what was already a fast paced market to speed up further. Valuers have to be part of this process and we see direct communication being a fundamental driver in terms of how this sector will function going forward, because of this we are looking to develop a system that does not necessarily require a panel manager at all.”
