Accord pledges to continue free legals

Since the start of 2017 on average 80% of Accord’s remortgage residential customers have opted for free legal assistance rather than cashback.

David Robinson, National Intermediary Sales Manager at Accord, said: “We’ve offered both free legal assistance or up to £500 cashback consistently throughout 2017 and will continue giving customers the ability to choose which option is right for them.

Some borrowers prefer the convenience of someone else arranging a conveyancer, which is demonstrated in the high volume of our customers seeking this option, but others would prefer to source their own.

Our remortgage range gives borrowers a wide range of products and additional features to choose the mortgage that best meets their individual needs.”
