Know What Your Lender Knows: How to Verify a Property Value Using Purview


Whether it is a purchase mortgage or refinance, if the value of a property is not as high as initially thought, the deal may not close as larger down payments may be required or there may not be enough equity – so there is huge value in taking a moment to verify a property value at the application stage!

Purview For Mortgage Brokers continues to be one of the top tools that mortgage brokers and agents are using to cross-check property values that are provided in a mortgage application.

We are committed to your ongoing development and recognize that some may be new to using Purview, so this post will re-visit how to use Purview to verify a property value. 

1.      The first thing you will need to do is perform a property search. To perform this search by address or owner’s name, all you have to do is a) select your desired province from the dropdown menu, b) enter either the address or homeowner’s name, c) click search, d) review potential matches from the search results table.
2.      Once you have located the property, click to generate a Broker Report. 
3.      After clicking to confirm, the report will be generated.

The report will contain:

·        The address and legal description of the selected property
·        Who the homeowner is
·        The sales history on the selected property
·        The estimated value of the property
·        Ranges of values in the neighbourhood
·        Current mortgages registered
·        Sales comparables – both historical and at the current valuation date
·        Aerial views of the property, neighbourhood and closest sales comparables
