Why do I need Independent Legal advice for my The Mortgage Mortgage Works mortgage?
The Mortgage Works will require an Independent Legal advice certificates to be signed by a solicitor in the following circumstances:
- The legal owner is different to the those taking on the responsibility fo the mortgage.
- The money is lent to a company
- You are guarantor
- You are parents lending to you child/children
Such a step is usually time sensitive and could jeopardise the transaction if not completed in a timely fashion. This is often the final piece of the jigsaw in a long and laborious process. Your own conveyancing solicitor will be unable to offer this service as the mortgage company requires another independent solicitor to advise on the transaction. This is where we come in.
We are there for when you might need another solicitor standing by to deal with the final part of the transaction. We have a fixed fee advisory service.
