West One expands shared ownership proposition with new conveyancing partnership

West One Loans has announced a new partnership with Shared Direction Conveyancing, a specialist conveyancing firm with expertise in shared ownership transactions.

Shared Direction Conveyancing collaborates closely with brokers, housing associations, and lenders and will support West One’s growing mortgage proposition in this sector.

The collaboration will enhance the homebuying experience by joining up West One’s specialist lending proposition with Shared Direction’s shared ownership conveyancing expertise. The partnership will create a more streamlined, transparent, and efficient legal process for shared ownership cases from application through to completion.
