InterBay has partnered with VAS Panel to help speed up applications across its commercial and semi-commercial business.

InterBay says the partnership with VAS Panel will enable brokers to have control over its cases and have faster transaction times, which will allow it to focus on progressing cases quicker.

VAS Panel will keep brokers updated on the progress of their valuation instructions and provide them with the valuation report to allow time to address any outstanding concerns.

The OSB Group Real Estate team will also work closely with VAS Panel to adhere to service level agreements (SLAs) and processes.

InterBay head of specialist finance Emily Hollands says: “Following feedback from brokers, we’re delighted to team up with VAS Panel which will help streamline the valuation part of our process.”

“This partnership allows brokers to instruct their own valuations and access live updates on their case which we know will be a timesaver and provides intermediaries with increased autonomy for their cases.”

VAS Panel chief commercial officer and co-founder Stephen Todd adds: “We are thrilled to be joining up with InterBay to assist them and their intermediary partners with their valuations process, all of whom will reap the benefits of a quicker, more seamless customer journey.”
