Independent Legal Advice (England & Wales property transactions)

For advice on guarantees, mortgages, and legal charge documents related to properties in England & Wales, we can help.

It is a common requirement for UK lenders to insist borrowers obtain independent legal advice from a lawyer before a finance transaction is completed. This requirement is to avoid any argument from a borrower in the future that they did not understand what they were signing or felt that they were forced into signing the legal document.

With our assistance, we can certify that the financial document was explained to the borrower and they signed the documents on account of their own free will, without undue influence or duress.
