Press Release :
ENACT DIRECT LEGAL SOLUTIONS BUCKS TREND ON REMORTGAGE LEVELS
Conveyancing specialist, enact Direct Legal Solutions, is bucking the trend for remortgages. Transactions in September 2010 were up 41% on 2009, despite recent industry-wide statistics from the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ (CML) which reveal a 10-year low for remortgages as a proportion of total loans (25% in August).
enact is now the UK’s leading conveyancing and remortgage specialist, completing more transactions per month than any other firm, and with a remortgage market share of 20% so far in 2010.
The positive trend looks set to continue with enact’s transaction levels likely to represent over 25% of the market when the CML publish their September figures.
Justin McChesney, managing director of enact, said: “Our performance in 2010 is a massive achievement, particularly given that market conditions have been even tougher than during 2009. There has been a lower volume of remortgaging in the UK every month so far this year compared with 2009. However, we have secured a number of new clients and doubled our market share. Lenders like the fact we are part of a very well capitalised group, the level of security of our systems, our excellent customer service and our competitive rates.”
