Roma Finance has announced the launch of DeskVal, a new automated valuation model (AVM) that aims to deliver faster and more accurate lending decisions.
Backed by professional indemnity insurance, DeskVal combines AI technology with real-time market data to provide an efficient valuation tool for residential properties across the UK.
DeskVal is being used across Roma’s product suite — particularly in bridging and short-term lending — where speed of service is essential.
Michael Allison, commercial director at Roma Finance, commented: “DeskVal is the next step in our commitment to innovation and service excellence. We know that speed is critical in the bridging and specialist finance space—but speed without confidence simply doesn’t work”.
“With DeskVal, we are once again expanding our solutions toolkit and embracing technology to aide our decision making. It’s another way we’re streamlining the journey, removing friction, and delivering what our partners need in a fast-moving market.”
Sabina Thorpe, co-founder and chief sales officer at DeskVal, added: “This partnership marks a major milestone not just for DeskVal, but for the property industry as a whole. By integrating our cutting-edge AI instant valuation tool with Roma’s advanced tech ecosystem, we’re delivering a new standard of speed, precision, and cost efficiency to forward thinking lenders like Roma Finance.
“This collaboration is a true gamechanger, helping to streamline workflows, simplify decision making, and amplify the accuracy of valuations across residential, HMO, multi-unit blocks and mixed-use properties.”
