Built to support the Universal Property Data Report

Standardizes report delivery

UDC delivers the Universal Property Data Report (UPDR) format required for GSE inspection-based appraisal waivers.

Simplifies underwriting review

UDC includes a proprietary summary that surfaces key property details and potential risk indicators early in the report to help underwriters focus their review.

Consolidates GSE feedback

Integrates automated GSE API results directly into the report to reduce the need for toggling between separate systems.

Provides more complete property context

Relevant details outside the standard UPD data fields, such as solar ownership or HOA information, may be included for additional property context.

Benefits of Universal Data Collection

Universal Data Collection (UDC®) ensures fast and accurate data collection and delivers it in the standardized UPDR format for inspection-based appraisal waiver programs and hybrid appraisals to empower lenders with national scalability and coverage.
