Countrywide Surveying Services partners with Leek Building Society

Countrywide Surveying Services (CSS) has appointed Leek Building Society as its new valuation and surveying services partner.

The CSS panel manages and undertakes valuations for the majority of UK mortgage lenders and employs more than 600 personnel, which includes over 400 in-house RICS qualified registered valuers covering most UK postcodes.

Leek Building Society offers mortgages, savings, insurance and financial planning services nationwide, and has 12 branches across Staffordshire, Cheshire, Derbyshire and Shropshire, as well as a dedicated head office in Leek.

Managing director at CSS, Matthew Cumber, commented: “The choice of options available to a wide and diverse range of borrowers is undoubtedly due in no small part to a healthy and innovative building society sector and so we are proud to have been appointed by the Leek as its valuation and surveying services partner.

“We look forward to working with the team at Leek and supporting its borrowers in achieving their homeownership dreams.”

Deputy chief executive at Leek Building Society, Darren Ditchburn, added: “We’re pleased to announce the appointment of Countrywide as our valued partner for valuation and surveying services.
