“To ensure that each customer gets the same level
of exceptional customer experience we offer a
complete end-to-end appraisal solution across the
Peter Vardy group. We’ve been able to do this by
using technology to standardise the process,
thereby removing the subjectivity that used to be
part of generating appraisals”

transparent about our process, so our customers can
see how we arrive at an appraisal, using the same
consistent approach each time, which in turn builds
trust and loyalty in the solution we offer”
