Together has announced that it will extend its dual representation proposition to Scotland, effective from 17th October 2025.
This change applies to unregulated loans up to £500,000 secured against residential property and brings Scotland in line with Together’s existing proposition in England and Wales.
Dual representation allows a single solicitor to act for both Together and the customer, streamlining the legal process and delivering a faster, more cost-effective experience.
The extension applies exclusively to commercial finance transactions.
By adopting dual representation in Scotland, Together aims to accelerate completion times, enabling customers to access their funds more quickly.
With one solicitor managing the transaction, the process becomes more efficient and less prone to delays.
Customers also benefit from reduced legal costs, as all fees are bundled into a single charge. Together’s internal legal team will oversee the process from start to finish, ensuring all necessary title checks are completed to the highest standard.
This move also ensures a consistent customer experience across the UK. With Scotland now included, brokers and customers can expect the same streamlined legal process regardless of where the property is located.
Together will work with a panel of approved Scottish solicitors who are familiar with its procedures, offering greater control and reliability throughout the transaction.
Tanya Elmaz, managing director of intermediaries at Together said: “Extending our dual representation proposition to Scotland is a significant step in enhancing our service those buying property north of the border.
“This extension also opens up new opportunities for brokers, who can now submit Scottish cases requiring dual representation with confidence, knowing that Together has the infrastructure in place to support them.
“By simplifying the legal process and reducing costs, we’re making it easier and faster for customers to access the finance they need. Our approved panel of Scottish solicitors ensures we maintain the high standards our customers expect, while offering a consistent experience across the UK.
“We are committed to finding the best outcomes for our customers and broker partners, and this move helps us to do just that.”
