Gen H will automatically run digital valuations (AVMs) on eligible applications at the decision in principle (DIP) stage.

The changes mean where the property appears suitable at DIP, Gen H’s submission platform will display an initial property approval.

This will remain as long as the property doesn’t change later in the application.

The lender says the addition of AVMs at DIP will help provide greater certainty earlier in the journey for brokers and their clients.

Gen H head of product Luke Calton says: “We know that getting certainty as early as possible is top priority for our broker partners. Property decisioning was the missing piece to reaching a fully automated “yes” at DIP, so we’re delighted to launch this new feature.”

“We’ve built our systems from scratch, which means we can easily and immediately prioritise new quality of life improvements based on broker feedback. This was a popular request, and we’re looking forward to seeing how this new feature will make our brokers’ jobs easier.”
