Saffron Building Society has joined LMS’ Panel Link.

LMS Panel Link connects lenders with fully vetted law firms within a single platform.

Saffron Building Society offers a variety of mortgage options and aims to make the home-buying process easier for its customers.

The addition of LMS Panel Link will allow Saffron to experience more streamlined and secure communication, to help connect with trusted law firms which it says will help springboard customer transactions.

The building society will also be using LMS’ Secure Link, which aims to reduce the post-offer conveyancing queries this lender receives.

Saffron will also be using Charge Registration so that customers can experience a more streamlined process.

The society will receive real-time updates on applications from HMLR, enabling the lender to keep track of all cases through to registration without the need to chase law firms.

LMS chief relationship officer Suzanne O’Connor says: “As ever, forming a new partnership provides a moment for us to celebrate, particularly when welcoming a well-established lender, such as Saffron Building Society, to our panel of trusted law firms.”

“Onboarding a lender highlights that more and more key stakeholders in the mortgage market are seeking ways to further digitalise their processes, connecting and streamlining to suit the needs of today’s home buyers.”

“LMS looks forward to collaborating with Saffron Building Society and enhancing the journey for its customers.”

Saffron Building Society head of member services Brent Jackson adds: “Our aim as a lender is to provide our customers with the best possible mortgage experience.”

“Therefore, we’re excited to partner with LMS, utilising their network of law firms and services, such as Charge Registration, to provide slicker transactions for our customers.”
