Almost all lenders have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Department at head office.

I have been recommended by two or three local property agents in Penyffordd to find a conveyancer using your seach tool. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to recommend your site over and above alternative conveyancing organisations?
We don’t give any referral fee for directing people in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
