Dean Cutbill, director of third party distribution at National Australia Bank UK commented: “As part of the expansion of our Integrated Financial Solution centres into the south of England, we identified the need to find the right partner with a proven track record of providing high quality, fast and efficient legal services to complement and enhance our mortgage proposition and brand values.Having experienced the benefits of using L&E’s Complete panel management solution through our third party distributors, it was logical step to extend it into our retail and premium channels allowing all Clydesdale and Yorkshire Bank customers to enjoy a simple, fast experience.”
L&E’s Complete extranet case management technology combined with its panel of solicitors has been proven to reduce lenders’ post offer to completion cycle by as much as 70 per cent. The financial benefits in terms of reduced processing costs and accelerated interest payments can amount to millions, and the simplified and faster process results in a dramatically improved customer experience.
