EXPANDED PANEL OF SOLICITORS FOR SPECIALIST PROPERTY CASES
As of 30 th March 2022, Foundation Home Loans have expanded their closed panel of solicitors to transact all specialist property cases. For all specialist properties, including HMOs, large HMOs and multi-unit properties, brokers can now choose from a wider panel of legal firms with specific expertise in specialist property purchases and remortgages.
- For HMO and multi-unit properties, brokers are now free to choose a firm from Foundation’s closed panel list to act on Foundation’s behalf, and dual representation is accepted (except in Scotland).
- The Specialist Property closed panel is a smaller, closed panel within Foundation’s main solicitor panel which is managed by ULS, and consists of eight legal firms with branches across England, Wales and Scotland.
- The new panel can be found at https://www.foundationforintermediaries.co.uk/media/2696/foundation-home-loans-
solicitors-panel-closed-panel.pdf - The panel is also available where an applicant’s solicitor does not meet the solicitor requirements of the lender.
- Changes to the broker portal are live from Wednesday 30th March 2022, allowing intermediaries to select one of the new solicitors, on new HMO or Multi-unit DIP or full mortgage applications.
- In the last month, Foundation Home Loans has launched both Green and Expat specialist property products ranges, and earlier this week, Foundation Home Loans launched a new Limited Edition ‘Fee assisted’ product for standard HMOs and Short term lets which comes with one free valuation, no application fee and a product fee of only £495.
