Molo, the specialist mortgage lender for UK and overseas borrowers, has extended its strategic partnership with LMS, the UK’s leading provider of conveyancing services, as it joins LMS Panel Link. The initiative reinforces the lender’s commitment to delivering greater certainty, controls and efficiency across the UK post-offer mortgage journey.
The move follows the successful rollout of Molo’s conveyancing proposition with LMS and reflects the lenders focus on strengthening operational resilience, as volumes grow and cases become increasingly complex. This is particularly prevalent in specialist lending.
By utilising Panel Link, brokers and their clients can connect with a panel of trusted, pre-approved law firms through a single, centralised platform. This approach brings greater consistency to panel management, clearer visibility of legal progress and tighter oversight from mortgage offer through to timely completions.
Panel Link functionality available through Molo includes:
- Secure Link – providing a secure channel for exchanging sensitive post-offer information and redemption statements between lenders and conveyancers
- Document Distribution – enabling faster, more reliable delivery of documentation, including mortgage offer documents
- Charge Registration – supporting a more streamlined and efficient approach to registering charges
Molo has already demonstrated commitment to digital connectivity, becoming the first lender to integrate with LMS Select via API in March 2024. Panel Link builds on that capability by reducing manual intervention, minimising exceptions and improving end-to-end post-offer control.
The enhanced partnership also provides access to law firms that meet rigorous quality, security and compliance standards, supporting robust governance whilst also giving flexibility to scale, without compromising service levels for both the broker and borrower clients.
Speaking about the partnership, Molo’s CEO, Matthew Kimber says: “Joining Panel Link is a natural progression in our ongoing partnership with LMS. As a lender, our priority is to ensure momentum doesn’t drop after offer. Panel Link provides us greater visibility and control at a critical stage of the mortgage journey. It enables brokers to progress their clients’ cases smoothly, with a greater certainty through to completion. As volumes grow, this approach helps us in maintaining consistency, manage risk effectively and deliver reliable service across increasingly complex cases.”
Suzanne O’Connor, Chief Relationship Officer at LMS, said: “We are delighted to welcome Molo to Panel Link, as our partnership continues to expand. By providing a secure, centralised way to work with trusted law firms, Panel Link supports lenders to scale with confidence, whilst maintaining quality and efficiencies across every transaction.”
