Augmented Property Verification Service

Currently both lender and customers expend considerable time, resources and thus carbon prior to discovering that there is a risk in the title that requires a declination. It can be 21 days + after disbursements expended before the panel conveyancer discovers the issue and the data for many of the perils APVS analyses are unavailable to the conveyancer.

APVS enables lenders to access greater certainty on Day 1, benefitting customer experience and reducing wasted legal and operating costs while the lender benefits from broad peril and title Insurance cover. The savings in operating time and costs have a direct correlation to reducing carbon emissions within the life cycle of each transaction for both the lenders and conveyancers. 

For TCF purposes, certainty on Day 1 allows expedited handling and where no such issues are identified, the lenders’ APVS insurance is placed on completion covering a broad set of insured risks including HMLR title matters, Japanese knotweed, and contaminated land.
