Keystone Property Finance has become the latest lender to adopt LMS’s Panel Link and Secure Link services.

The aim is to give brokers and their clients greater choice and more efficient case progression.

The specialist buy-to-let lender, which has operated as a standalone business since 2018, will now connect to thousands of vetted law firms through LMS’s ecosystem. By doing so, Keystone said it aims to streamline communication, reduce conveyancing delays and widen its panel of firms available to borrowers.

Keystone has also lifted restrictions on limited company panel requirements, meaning landlords can now use any firm on the LMS panel for both corporate and personal name applications.

In addition, the lender will implement LMS Secure Link, a knowledge base of lender-approved FAQs designed to cut the volume of post-offer queries from conveyancers and help speed up transactions.

Suzanne O’Connor (pictured), chief relationship officer at LMS, said: “It is a pleasure to welcome our latest lender to Panel Link.

“As a specialist lender, Keystone Property Finance is determined to deliver the best solutions to its customers, and LMS is best placed to facilitate, providing services to strengthen connectivity and increase efficiencies whilst mitigating risk.”

Elise Coole, managing director at Keystone Property Finance, added: “At the heart of everything we do is a commitment to efficiency, transparency, and delivering impactful results.

“Through Panel Link, we can further support our brokers by enabling access to a wider pool of vetted law firms who meet our criteria.

“Ultimately, our aim is to speed up the buy-to-let mortgage journey for our customers, and we look forward to working with LMS to continue delivering on that promise.”
