Digital Valuer offers fast, reliable and cost-efficient property valuations, extending Hometrack’s automated valuation capabilities and property risk assessments.

Broker AVM provides fast information to help brokers and borrowers to choose the right mortgages and insurance. It provides a property valuation, monthly rental and property attribute data with confidence bandings.

Credit Risk Hub helps lenders and brokers to rapidly assess the borrower’s affordability. It automates credit risk decisions, with specific emphasis on instant income and expenditure verification, by combining automated verification of borrower documentation and soon to extend to Open Banking.

Climate Change Risk gives lenders a better understanding of the impact of climate change on their portfolios. It helps them to actively manage their climate change risk and take greater control of the threat of climate change.

Spencer Wyer, VP of Product & Technology at Hometrack, said: “Today’s launch marks a new milestone for the millions of mortgage journeys undertaken by lenders, brokers and borrowers each year.

“Unlocking opportunities for the mortgage industry, it improves Hometrack’s offering to lenders and brokers, enabling them to embrace digital mortgage lending more quickly and easily.
