Introduction
At Connaught Law, we are proud to be appointed to the lender panels of several leading financial institutions in the UK.
Whether you are purchasing your first home, remortgaging, or acting as a guarantor, we are authorised to act for a wide range of mortgage lenders through three major panel management platforms: LMS, Lender Exchange, and Smoove.
Our inclusion on these panels means we meet strict professional, regulatory, and operational standards — allowing us to handle your mortgage with confidence and efficiency.
What Are LMS, Lender Exchange & Smoove?
These platforms manage access to lender panels across the UK, ensuring only law firms that meet strict compliance and security standards can act for their mortgage lenders.
Homebuyers, investors, and remortgaging clients benefit from faster processing and reduced risk when choosing a firm like Connaught Law that’s already approved on these panels.
