LMS will deliver a secure panel of conveyancing firms that meet the mutual's requirements
Conveyancer and panel management specialist LMS has announced a partnership with Skipton Building Society, which will become the 32nd lender to join LMS Panel Link.
As part of the panel link service, LMS will be able to deliver a fully vetted, secure panel of conveyancing firms that meet Skipton’s exact requirements, as well as a suite of services to further secure the monetary chain and provide operational efficiencies in the mortgage process.
The partnership with LMS follows Skipton’s launch of two new green additional borrowing products earlier this year, aiming to help homeowners improve the energy efficiency of their homes by making green improvements without incurring early repayment charges.
“Skipton Building Society’s decision to partner with LMS attests to the success and value of our market leading Panel Link services,” Nick Chadbourne, chief executive at LMS, said. “The security, innovation, and digitisation that LMS is providing its partners is especially important at a time when brokers and lenders are trying to help their clients find the best mortgages they can, amid a cost-of-living crisis, while trying to increase efficiency to help with capacity issues.”
Chadbourne added that they are delighted that Skipton has chosen LMS to further strengthen its already firm position in the housing market.
“We are pleased to be partnering with a provider that has so much experience in helping people get the best mortgage for their individual needs,” he said. “We look forward to a long-lasting, productive relationship with Skipton.”
Karen Appleton, head of mortgage lending at Skipton Building Society, said the mutual was proud to partner with LMS using the LMS Panel Link service to further strengthen the mortgage application journey.
“It means we can provide additional reassurance to our customers of the conveyancing process while working with carefully selected conveyancers,” she explained. “We’re looking forward to developing our relationship with LMS into the future.”
