Overview

Seamlessly enrich Feathery form submissions with Chimnie’s property intelligence data to support more accurate and efficient underwriting. Chimnie provides real-time insights into residential and commercial properties—helping insurers make informed risk decisions from the moment a form is submitted.

What you need

• An active Feathery account and form
• An active Chimnie API account or developer credentials

Background

Chimnie is a property data intelligence platform that collects and analyzes detailed information about buildings and addresses across the UK and other regions. It provides insurers with contextual data such as property age, construction type, usage, renovation history, and more. By integrating Chimnie with Feathery, underwriters can access a richer, data-driven view of a property at the very start of the submission process.

Benefits

Integrating Chimnie with Feathery allows for:

• Improved Risk Evaluation: Access key property attributes instantly to support accurate premium calculations and risk profiling.
• Faster Underwriting Decisions: Reduce back-and-forth by supplying underwriters with enriched data directly in submission workflows.
• Operational Efficiency: Minimize manual data collection by automating Chimnie API calls from Feathery form inputs.

Considerations

Before integrating Chimnie, ensure your team understands how its data aligns with your underwriting criteria. Chimnie’s API provides structured property datasets, which will need to be mapped correctly to your Feathery form fields. Consider data licensing terms, region-specific availability, and whether the scope of data (e.g., UK-specific property features) meets your operational needs. Collaboration between your underwriting and tech teams may be required for implementation.
