VAS Valuation Group has become the latest Patron of the NACFB.
It has vowed to continue its “educational approach” to ensure brokers better understand and control the valuations process.
The company includes both VAS Panel and VAS Assurance divisions, which have jointly completed over £8bn worth of valuation reporting in the last 12 months.
Stephen Todd (pictured), chief commercial officer and co-founder, said: “We already work with many Member Brokers on behalf of our lender clients and work hard to provide the best possible education, valuation and service, which means more deals progress through to completion.
“We have invested heavily in our technology, but it is our team that truly makes the difference. With over 40 staff, including internal chartered surveyors, we are the largest panel and assurance valuations business in the UK, and with everybody dedicated to the customer our outcomes are second-to-none.”
Launched in 1992, The National Association of Commercial Finance Brokers (NACFB) is the largest independent trade body for commercial finance brokers. The Association comprises over 2,000 commercial finance brokers covering the whole of the UK.
Norman Chambers, NACFB managing director, added: “We are proud to welcome the VAS team to our growing intermediary-led lending community. I am confident in the value they can add to many transactions between our membership cohort and look forward to seeing our relationship strengthen.”
