In celebration of International Women's Day (IWD) this week, we would like to share the inspirational stories of our female employees.

The UK's ageing population is increasingly turning to equity release mortgages to help ease its financial pressures.

Mortgage rates hit a record low in April, with the Yorkshire Building Society announcing a rate of 0.89% over a two-year period.

Recently many firms would have geared up for the traditional PII renewal date at the beginning of October. But in order to keep their PII premiums down conveyancers need to address their risk profile.

The number of traditional lenders introducing stricter criteria for conveyancers wishing to join their legal panels is growing month by month. Metro Bank and Newcastle Building Society are just two of an increasing band of lenders to set more stringent requirements for any law firms wishing to join their conveyancing panels.
