Acadata analysts to join e.surv as consultants
Property valuation firm e.surv Chartered Surveyors has acquired the assets and brand of Acadata, a long-time provider of house price indices and related data products.
As part of the acquisition, Acadata’s analysts, Peter Williams and Bob Pannell, will join e.surv as consultants. The valuation firm said both are well-regarded figures in the industry, bringing years of experience and expertise.
Founded by David Thorpe in 1993, Acadata has supplied house price data for England, Wales, and Scotland to e.surv and other clients over the years.
e.surv, which is part of LSL Property Services, employs more than 600 residential surveyors across the UK, supported by a network of consultant valuers. The firm serves as the lead valuer and panel manager for over 20 mortgage lenders and provides a range of private survey services to homebuyers.
“This deal secures valuable intellectual property and curated data sets for e.surv which will support and accelerate our wider data strategy,” said Richard Sexton (pictured), director of business development at e.surv. “We also look forward to pooling our experience with that of the Acadata team to shape our proposition for the future.”
Thorpe commented: “Acadata has enjoyed a productive and collaborative relationship with e.surv over many years. I couldn’t be happier that the Acadata IP and expertise will be moving to e.surv.”
