Founded in 2020, Valos has rapidly established itself as a leading integrated platform for the UK commercial property market, connecting valuation firms and mortgage lenders in a single workflow.

Used by more than 20% of UK valuers and validated by leading UK mortgage lenders, Valos helps reduce report turnaround times, improve accuracy and strengthen compliance. By incorporating lender requirements directly into valuer templates and creating an audit-ready, RICS-compliant record of every instruction, the platform enables more efficient decision-making while creating a centralized data asset that supports collaboration, risk management and portfolio intelligence. “Valos is a strong fit for Altus, expanding our capabilities in the valuation and lending workflow with AI-native technology that improves speed, accuracy and confidence in decision-making,” said Mike Gordon, CEO and Chair of Altus. “Together, we can help clients collaborate more seamlessly, strengthen compliance and risk management, and build a richer, more connected data foundation for the CRE industry. Importantly, we’re strongly aligned in how we think about AI: as a way to reduce friction, surface better insights and increase the impact of expert judgement. The goal is technology that helps our clients make faster, more confident decisions while focusing their time on the work where their expertise matters most.” “Joining Altus marks a pivotal moment for Valos,” said Alex Kountourides, CEO and co-founder of Valos. “We see this as a natural next step: two organisations with shared clients, complementary technologies and a common ambition to modernise the valuation and lending workflow.
