Conveyancer and panel management firm, LMS, has announced a new partnership with Skipton Building Society.

The society takes the number of lenders to join LMS Panel Link to 32.

As part of its Panel Link service, LMS delivers a fully vetted, secure panel of conveyancing firms that meet Skipton’s requirements, as well as services to further secure the monetary chain and provide operational efficiencies in the mortgage process.

Skipton’s latest partnership follows its launch of two new green additional borrowing products earlier this year, to help UK homeowners improve the energy efficiency of their homes by making green improvements, without incurring early repayment charges.

LMS CEO, Nick Chadbourne, commented: “Skipton’s decision to partner with LMS attests to the success and value of our market leading Panel Link services.

“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.

“We are delighted that Skipton has chosen LMS to further strengthen its already firm position in the housing market and are pleased to be partnering with a provider that has so much experience in helping people get the best mortgage for their individual needs. We look forward to a long-lasting, productive relationship with Skipton.”

Head of mortgage lending at Skipton, Karen Appleton, said: “Skipton is proud to partner with LMS using the LMS Panel Link service to further strengthen our mortgage application journey. It means we can provide additional reassurance to our customers of the conveyancing process whilst working with carefully selected conveyancers.

“We’re looking forward to developing our relationship with LMS into the future.”
