Legal and General Surveying Services (LGSS) has signed an agreement with specialist lender Together, becoming a key valuation partner for network and club cases.
The agreement aims to drive faster and more consistent valuations for brokers and clients using Together’s specialist mortgage products including residential, buy-to-let and HMO lending.
Under the new arrangement, LGSS will handle qualifying residential valuation instructions for Together’s intermediary network and club channel, leveraging its national panel of RICS-qualified surveyors and digital valuation platform to accelerate turnaround times and improve efficiency.
Nick Parker, sales director for networks and clubs at Together, said: “We’re delighted to appoint Legal and General Surveying Services as a strategic valuation partner for our network and club cases. As a specialist lender, speed, consistency and certainty are critical for our broker partners and their clients, particularly when dealing with more complex properties or circumstances.
“LGSS brings a wealth of experience valuing specialist assets, supported by a highly skilled in house surveying team and robust data, audit and technology capabilities, including its Property Decision Engine. That expertise, scale and modern approach closely aligns with Together’s common sense lending philosophy and our focus on removing friction from the end to end process.
“This partnership will help us deliver a smoother, more efficient experience for brokers, enabling them to progress cases with confidence and ultimately achieve better outcomes for their customers.”
