"Our new partnership with Optima Legal has put us in a much stronger position to increase market share as well as entering new markets."

Optima Legal is an independently regulated law firm owned by Capita plc, which facilitated over £12bn worth of lending in 2016 for its clients. It has over 30 years' experience working in partnership with the UK’s mortgage sector, providing mortgage lenders, brokers and customers with remortgage, conveyancing and property services.

Secure Trust Bank’s new Mortgage team will work with Optima Legal to ensure that new mortgage instructions are dealt with as quickly and smoothly as possible.

Esther Morley, managing director at Secure Trust Bank Mortgages, said: “Our new partnership with Optima Legal has put us in a much stronger position to increase market share as well as entering new markets. The firm has established itself over many years as the go-to legal services provider for both traditional and specialist mortgage lenders, so we’re confident that its solutions will help us to write more complex cases, more easily. The fact that Optima deal directly with mortgage borrowers will ultimately boost excellence and consistency, resulting in far better outcomes for our customers.”

Mark Tosetti, director of corporate development at Optima, added: “We have assisted lenders for a number of decades in delivering high quality legal remortgage services and are increasingly supporting new entrants into the remortgage market, ensuring they benefit from our vast experience, knowledge and unique understanding of the customer journey. We are delighted to further continue these alliances by partnering with Secure Trust Bank to support their entry into the remortgage market.”
