The situation
A commercial property valuation starts with a data room: sale prospectuses, dozens of leases, floor plans, energy certificates, tax assessments and comparable transactions. A valuer reads all of it by hand, re-keys the numbers into a model, and writes the report from scratch. At Veridian, that sequence produced roughly one report every two days per valuer.
The firm's own knowledge, every report, rent roll and model it had ever produced, sat in folders nobody searched. Decades of institutional judgement, unavailable at the moment it was needed. Growing meant hiring, and good valuers take years to make.
What we did
Valora reads the data room. Drop in a collection of prospectuses, leases and valuations and it extracts the fields you define into one table, with a citation to the page each answer came from: define the questions once, get answers for every file. On top of that sit live yield, DCF and income models that recompute as assumptions are adjusted in natural language, with every comparable pulled from official registers and the firm's own transactions.
It writes the report too. Complete valuations come out in the firm's house template, exported to Word, PowerPoint and Excel, and Valora runs as a plugin inside Claude, ChatGPT and Microsoft 365, so the valuer never leaves the tools they already use. The firm's own reports, rent rolls and models are searched first and always cited. Everything is stored and run in the EU and EEA under GDPR and never used to train models. The agents gather the evidence and test the assumptions. The valuer makes the call.
What changed
- One report in two days, to ten a day. The same valuers produce a multiple of the reports they did before, each in the house template.
- Revenue up, headcount flat. The firm grew its output and its revenue without adding to the team.
- The data room, read in seconds. A rent roll with start, end, options, rent and service charges, built from dozens of leases in one pass and verified against the source page.
- The valuer decides. Every number is cited and every assumption is visible, so the report is defensible in front of a client or a court.
