Danske Bank UK has extended its partnership with LMS, the conveyancer and panel management specialist, into Northern Ireland.
The expansion builds on the successful collaboration between the two companies, which began in 2021 with the launch of Panel Link® for Danske Bank in England and Wales.
The announcement marks Danske Bank as the 30th lender to partner with LMS Panel Link®, an authenticated platform of law firms that fully aligns with the bank’s strict requirements for conveyancing cases.
Additionally, the bank offers customers access to Fees Assisted Remortgage products via LMS. This collaboration aids in reducing fraud and enhancing operational efficiency in the process of home buying and remortgaging.
Danske Bank’s decision to expand its work with LMS in Northern Ireland follows the positive reception of its Danske Carbon Neutral Mortgage and the ongoing success of the partnership in Great Britain. LMS has over 2000 law firms on its panel.
Nick Chadbourne, chief executive of LMS, said: “Danske Bank’s partnership with LMS is yet another vote of confidence in our market-leading Panel Link® and Fees Assisted services as we continue to provide security, innovation, and digitisation to all partners.” He further added that the company’s ability to drive efficiency and reliability sets them up for continued success with Danske Bank.
Ian Russell, head of homebuying at Danske Bank, shared his perspective on the collaboration: “LMS has been a great partner for us in Great Britain as we launched our Carbon Neutral Mortgage.
“It’s a solution that delivers a digital experience for our customers and extra peace of mind for our borrowers as they purchase or remortgage their home, so it was a logical next step to work with LMS again in Northern Ireland. We look forward to working with Nick and the team.”
