Company profile

researched Sep 2026

Geowox is a Dublin-based property technology company that builds automated and hybrid residential property valuation solutions for mortgage lenders, investors and surveyors. Its original core product is an Automated Valuation Model (AVM) built on open data — such as CSO statistics and property price registers — cleaned, joined and analysed with machine learning, together with a comparables-based approach that prices a target property against recent sales of similar properties. Lenders and investors access the models through a web platform providing up-to-date property data and valuations that can be signed off by a qualified surveyor.

The current platform positions itself as an end-to-end valuation workflow connecting lenders and surveyors. It is organised around six components: booking (capturing property, borrower and payment details without technical integration), automated valuation-type selection, panel management, process management, quality assurance and reporting/delivery. Orders are cascaded automatically by lender criteria to the appropriate valuation route — full inspection, drive-by external inspection, desktop valuation by a remote qualified valuer, hybrid analyst review, or an Advanced Statistical Model as defined under the CRR with HPI adjustment, confidence measures and backtesting against observed transactions. A matching engine ranks accredited surveyors by distance, live availability and track record and assigns orders automatically; AI-driven quality assurance screens reports against comparables and market data before release; and completed, surveyor-signed reports are delivered with an audit trail into a secure vault with optional lender-platform integration.

The company states compliance with EBA and RICS/TEGOVA standards, and has previously described adherence to EBA GLOM requirements and European AVM Alliance standards. Coverage is offered across every county in Ireland on a single flat fee.
