Comp analysis that used to take a morning, ready before you arrive
Your AI employee pulls comparable transactions from your data sources, cross-references market indices, adjusts for property-specific factors, and populates your firm's output templates. Draft-quality valuation summaries, generated overnight.
The challenge
Why this workflow is broken today
Comparable sourcing is painfully manual
Analysts spend hours searching across multiple databases, brokers' records and market reports to find relevant comparables. The process is inconsistent — different analysts find different comps for the same property, leading to inconsistent valuations.
Adjustments require deep context
Raw transaction data means little without property-specific adjustments for location, condition, tenant covenant, lease length and market timing. Making these adjustments accurately requires experience and access to data that's often scattered across systems.
Template population is tedious grunt work
Once the analysis is done, populating the firm's output template — with all the right formatting, disclaimers and methodology notes — adds another hour to a process that should be about analysis, not administration.
How your AI employee handles this
From request to resolution
Ingest the brief
The AI employee receives the valuation instruction — via email, shared drive or direct assignment. It extracts the subject property details, identifies the valuation basis (Market Value, Market Rent, DRC etc.), and determines which comparable sets are relevant based on sector, geography and size.
Source and rank comparables
Drawing from your connected data sources — internal transaction records, CoStar, EGi, Land Registry, VOA — the AI employee identifies relevant comparables, ranks them by relevance, and presents a shortlist with key metrics: price/sq ft, yield, lease terms, date and any known adjustments.
Adjust and analyse
Using your firm's methodology, the AI employee applies adjustments for time, location, condition, tenant quality, lease structure and other factors. It calculates yield analysis, rental comparisons and capital value ranges, presenting the analysis alongside the comparable evidence.
Populate and deliver
The complete analysis is formatted into your firm's output template — whether that's a Word report, Excel model, or presentation deck. Methodology notes, caveats, market commentary and comparable evidence schedules are all included. The valuer reviews, adjusts and signs off — starting from a 90% complete draft, not a blank page.
Scenario
How Sterling Chartered Surveyors would use this
Organisation
Sterling Chartered Surveyors
A mid-market commercial property firm with 45 valuers across 6 UK offices, completing approximately 3,200 valuations per year for lending, acquisition and financial reporting purposes.
Challenge
Sterling's valuers were spending an average of 4.5 hours on comparable research and report drafting per valuation. Senior valuers — who should focus on complex instructions and client relationships — were bogged down in data gathering. The firm's growth was constrained by valuer capacity, not by client demand.
Approach
The AI employee was onboarded to Sterling's valuation methodology, output templates and data subscriptions. It began handling research and draft preparation for standard commercial valuations (offices, retail, industrial), with valuers reviewing and finalising every report.
Projected results
“I start every morning with draft valuations waiting in my inbox — comps sourced, adjustments proposed, templates populated. I add my professional judgement and sign off. It's transformed how I spend my day.”

This is a representative scenario based on typical client profiles. Specific results vary by organisation.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about this workflow
Does it replace the professional judgement of a RICS-qualified valuer?
No, and it's not designed to. The AI employee handles the research, data gathering and draft preparation — the time-consuming but lower-value parts of the process. The qualified valuer retains full responsibility for professional judgement, adjustment decisions and sign-off. Think of it as a highly capable research assistant, not a replacement valuer.
Which data sources does it connect to?
We integrate with all major UK commercial property data sources including CoStar, EGi/Radius, Land Registry, VOA rating lists, and your firm's own internal transaction database. We can also connect to specialist datasets for specific sectors (e.g., healthcare, student housing, hotels).
Can it handle Red Book (RICS Valuation - Global Standards) requirements?
Yes. The AI employee is configured to produce output that meets Red Book requirements — including appropriate basis of value statements, assumptions, special assumptions, caveats and methodology disclosures. Your firm's specific Red Book-compliant templates are used as the output format.
How does it handle unusual or complex properties?
For highly specialist properties (development sites, operational assets, portfolios), the AI employee will gather what data it can and clearly flag where comparable evidence is thin or where specialist assumptions are needed. The valuer's expertise is most valuable precisely on these complex instructions.
