Why does the completion date matter?

Mortgage lender requirements change over time. What The Mortgage Works requires today may not be what The Mortgage Works required when your transaction completed. Lexsure’s archive lets you check the requirement recorded for the relevant historical date, rather than relying on today’s handbook.

Could the historical requirement help explain a conveyancing problem?

If you are investigating whether something may have been missed during your original conveyancing, the lender requirement that applied at the time may be important evidence. Lexsure can help identify the historical record and, where appropriate, can introduce you to a specialist conveyancing negligence solicitor at no cost to you for the introduction.

Speak to Lexsure

Lexsure may receive a fixed introduction fee from the solicitor firm if you choose to proceed. This does not affect the cost to you.

How can Lexsure tell me what The Mortgage Works required years ago?

Tracked historically. Not reconstructed from today’s rules.

Lexsure has monitored and retained historical The Mortgage Works mortgage lender requirements and subsequent changes. That means we can identify the requirement recorded for The Mortgage Works on a particular historic date, rather than simply showing what The Mortgage Works requires today.
