Efficiency is the Name of the Game
In the competitive UK property valuation market, clients expect valuations that are not only accurate but delivered faster than ever before. We recently hosted a webinar where we chatted about how valuation teams can work smarter, not harder, using Aprao. Below, I’ve put together the key takeaways that will help you streamline your workflow and keep your clients happy.
1. Mapping Your Valuation Process to Find Bottlenecks
To start improving efficiency, it’s crucial to understand every step of your valuation process—from when the client first reaches out to when you send the final report and archive the project. Mapping it out like this makes it easy to spot the steps that take too long or involve too much manual work. During the webinar, we talked about how using outdated tools like Excel or relying on clunky old software can slow everything down. The idea is to identify these friction points and make small but impactful changes that add up.
2. Templates Are Your Best Friend for Faster Analysis
If your team handles a lot of similar projects, creating specific templates can save significant amounts of time. Think about it: instead of starting from scratch every time, you’ve got all your typical cost assumptions ready to go for that mixed-use development in Zone 1. During the webinar, we showed how Aprao makes it super easy to set up these templates, which means you can put together a detailed feasibility in minutes—accurate, consistent, and hassle-free.
3. Ditch the Emails and Collaborate in the Cloud
Let’s face it: emailing spreadsheets back and forth or waiting for colleagues to get back to the office is no way to work in 2024. With Aprao’s cloud-based tools, your whole team can stay on the same page. You can add comments, update numbers, and make sure everyone is working with the latest information—all in real time. It’s a simple shift, but it makes a huge difference in how quickly you can get things done.
4. Professional Reports, Clicked and Done
Nobody likes spending hours formatting Word documents. We heard from a lot of you that report generation eats up way too much time, and that’s why we built Aprao to automate it. You can create a professional-grade report—fully branded and beautifully formatted—literally at the click of a button. Even better, the live sharing link means your clients always have access to the most current version, without endless re-sending. It’s quicker, easier, and it makes you look good.
Why It Matters
As a former lender, I can tell you that speed really matters. Developers and lenders are always pushing to get things done quickly, and the valuation teams that can deliver are the ones who win repeat business. By making your processes more efficient with Aprao, you’re not just saving time—you’re growing your business and building stronger client relationships.
