Connells Survey & Valuation and StrideUp adopt Cotality’s valuation tech
Surveying and valuation firm Connells Survey & Valuation and Islamic home finance provider StrideUp have partnered with Cotality to integrate its valuation technology.
Cotality’s LenderHub platform facilitates the seamless instruction of valuations and digital valuation reports by integrating with lender and valuation panel management systems.
StrideUp and Connells Survey & Valuation are the first firms to partner to launch the platform.
The platform aims to make mortgage valuations faster, as well as more transparent and efficient. It has been designed to simplify each stage of the valuation process by providing real-time job updates, case tracking and built-in messaging.
Users can also see the history of events and timelines, while lenders can set rules and thresholds to automate decisions around valuation types.
There is also the option to include centralised post-valuation queries to resolve matters in a single audited system.

Sadiq Dorasat, product lead at StrideUp, said: “It’s fantastic to see Connells Survey & Valuation embrace this partnership with us at StrideUp and Cotality. The real winner here is the customer – faster offers and a smoother journey at one of the most stressful moments in home buying.
“Automating what was previously manual valuation work means we can put our energy into the things that genuinely need a human touch.”
Ross Bowen, managing director at Connells Survey & Valuation, added: “We are delighted to launch with Cotality to provide full panel and risk management services for StrideUp.
“The speed with which LenderHub has been implemented is testament to the art of the possible and it will be great to see StrideUp leverage this to benefit its customers and support its strategic plans.”
Mark Blackwell, chief operating officer at Cotality, said he was delighted to work in partnership with StrideUp and Connells Survey & Valuation on its first live integration to LenderHub.
He added: “They will see full transparency of the valuation transaction speeding up the delivery of information and streamlining the end-to-end journey ultimately helping customers enjoy a better experience.”
Earlier this month, Cotality appointed Carl Ross as head of business development to lead lender and surveyor growth.
