Together has signed an agreement with Legal and General Surveying Services (LGSS) to act as a key valuation partner for its network and club cases.
The deal is set to speed up and standardise valuations for brokers and clients using Together’s specialist mortgage products, including residential, buy-to-let (BTL) and houses in multiple occupation (HMO) lending.
LGSS will handle qualifying residential valuation instructions for Together’s intermediary network and club channel.
The surveying firm will use its national panel of RICS-qualified surveyors and a digital valuation platform to improve efficiency and turnaround times.
Nick Parker, sales director for networks and clubs at Together, said: “We’re delighted to appoint Legal and General Surveying Services as a strategic valuation partner for our network and club cases.
“As a specialist lender, speed, consistency and certainty are critical for our broker partners and their clients, particularly when dealing with more complex properties or circumstances.
“LGSS brings a wealth of experience valuing specialist assets, supported by a highly skilled in‑house surveying team and robust data, audit and technology capabilities, including its Property Decision Engine.”
Parker added: “That expertise, scale and modern approach closely aligns with Together’s common‑sense lending philosophy and our focus on removing friction from the end‑to‑end process.
“This partnership will help us deliver a smoother, more efficient experience for brokers, enabling them to progress cases with confidence and ultimately achieve better outcomes for their customers.”
Paula Matthews, strategic account director at LGSS, said: “Together has a reputation for supporting customers who require more flexible lending solutions, and we are proud to play a key role in helping them complete those transactions smoothly and efficiently.
“Our teams have worked hard to ensure a seamless transition, and we look forward to delivering high-quality, reliable valuations that support Together’s growth ambitions.”
