e.surv appointed as the lead valuation partner for Darlington Building Society

e.surv Chartered Surveyors has entered into a relationship with the Darlington Building Society, providing residential valuations and property advice services.

e.surv previously worked with the society as a panel member, but will now assume responsibility for all valuations requirements as sole panel manager.

In addition to valuation distribution and quality management, the society will also receive support from the valuer in respect of specific sectors such as new-build and self-build applications.

Louise Lord, head of lending for Darlington Building Society, said: “We have been impressed by the ‘added value’ elements of the e.surv proposition and are confident the relationship will deliver a number of process efficiencies to support our members and intermediary partners.”

Richard Sexton, director of business development at e.surv, added: “We are extremely pleased to have been appointed by the society – we thought long and hard about the specialisms the society has as well as the importance of the focus upon the Society’s heartland, when building our Darlington proposition.

“We look forward to helping further develop ‘best practice’ in respect of valuations with the society as we move forward together.”
