UTB offers dual legal representation for bridging

Published on

United Trust Bank (UTB) has introduced dual legal representation for bridging loans after a pilot.

Dual legal representation can facilitate transactions being paid out much more quickly and deliver a significant cost saving for the borrower, the lender said.

Michael Walters (pictured), head of sales – mortgages & bridging at United Trust Bank, said: “Dual legal representation provides a significant cost and speed benefit to bridging customers, and service improvements like this are important for growing the bridging market. I’m sure many bridging customers will benefit from dual representation in future, especially now this facility is available via all introducers to UTB.

“We are continuously looking for ways to enhance and improve UTB’s bridging offering both in terms of products and service and enjoy working with likeminded partners in developing these kinds of enhancements. We look forward to implementing further innovations in the future.”

Amadeus Wilson, director at SPF Short Term Finance, added: “Working with UTB and JMW Solicitors on the pilot was a great success. Not only was the client extremely satisfied with the reduced cost of using dual representation, but the speed and efficiency of keeping everything under one roof was invaluable, leading to a swift completion and all-round client satisfaction.

“The provision of this service augments the overall UTB proposition and complements their superb service levels and market-leading products that we are accustomed to.”
