Signature Property Finance enhances lending process with DeskVal

By Bridging Loan Directory 8th April 2025

Signature Property Finance, one of the UK’s leading independent short-term property finance providers, has announced the adoption of DeskVal, the award-winning desktop valuation tool from Ultimate Property Dashboard, to support its short-term property lending operations.

Designed to deliver fast, accurate, and consistent desktop valuations, DeskVal is a powerful addition to Signature’s toolkit, helping to streamline early decision-making and improve the borrower experience.

By speeding up the initial assessment of a deal’s viability, the platform enables Signature’s lending team to act with greater agility, providing quicker feedback to brokers and developers without sacrificing the quality or rigour of its lending process.

Thomas Howells, Chief Operating Officer at Signature, commented:

“It’s important we continue to improve the service we deliver to brokers and property investors. And DeskVal is the latest step in our evolution, helping us move faster in a competitive market.

It’s a smart, data-driven tool that supports our underwriters and relationship managers by providing a clear picture of a property’s likely value at the early stages, but it doesn’t replace human input.

Lending decisions remain firmly in the hands of our experienced team.”

We believe, adopting DeskVal underlines our commitment to delivering efficient, borrower-focused finance solutions while maintaining the high-touch, relationship-led service on which our reputation is built.

With relationship managers based across the UK, Signature continues to place local market knowledge at the heart of every deal.

We’ve always believed in combining speed with service. DeskVal allows us to do just that, enabling quicker valuations while preserving the personalised approach that borrowers and brokers value.”
