Conveyancing panel manager, Movin Legal, has expanded its suite of services with the integration of Legal & General’s Digital Home Survey.
The latest enhancement enables brokers to order a property survey at the point of instruction, providing greater convenience and efficiency for homebuyers.
The Digital Home Survey is a fully digital report for a home buyer designed by Legal & General Surveying Services. A RICS-qualified surveyor conducts a thorough inspection of the property, assessing key areas such as the roof, walls, damp and timber. Following the inspection, a comprehensive digital report is typically delivered within 48 hours.
The survey offers the opportunity to speak to the surveyor before and after the inspection and the report highlights any defects or issues using photographs and a traffic-light grading system, allowing buyers to quickly gauge the severity of potential problems. Additionally, home buyers are able to easily share information with tradespeople and repair solutions, from the report. They can obtain trade quotes which can also be leveraged in negotiations with the seller if necessary.
Lyndon Whistance, chief operating officer at Movin Legal, said: “We have listened to our clients, and home surveys were a key area where they sought additional support. By integrating Legal & General’s Digital Home Survey into our platform, we are delivering an innovative, efficient, and valuable solution that enhances the homebuying process.”
Clare Beardmore, director of distribution and Mortgage Club at L&G Mortgage Services, said: “We are always seeking partners who value their customers’ needs as much as we do. Home surveys are an integral part of the home-buying process, and we are excited that Movin Legal has chosen our Digital Home Survey product to deliver a more intuitive and convenient experience for brokers and their customers.”
