Conveyancer to provide legal support for lender’s limited company BTL remortgage offering
ONP Solicitors has been appointed as the sole legal services provider in England and Wales for Coventry Building Society’s recently launched Fees Assisted Buy-to-Let Limited Company Remortgage product.
The partnership, which began with a soft rollout in March and expanded fully in April, supports the lender’s first remortgage product tailored for landlords operating through limited companies. The new offering is part of Coventry’s strategy to expand its buy-to-let lending range.
ONP Solicitors, part of the Movera group, was selected for its performance record and strong broker relationships. The legal work is being handled by a specialist team led by Chris Horwood and Sarah Lockwood, with support from ONP’s legal, tech, and operations staff. The onboarding was designed to ensure a smooth process for both brokers and their clients and included collaboration with McVey and Murricane, a Scottish law firm.
“At Coventry Building Society, we’re committed to delivering great outcomes for our broker partners and their clients, and that starts with choosing the right legal partner,” said senior relationship manager for lending Shelley Rodway.
“ONP’s reputation for service quality, their experience in the limited company BTL space, and their collaborative approach made them a natural fit for this proposition. We’ve been impressed by how smoothly the onboarding has gone and by the positive feedback we’re already seeing from the broker community.”
The early rollout was positively received by brokers, with Coventry noting a smooth transition and encouraging initial results.
“We are delighted to be working with Coventry Building Society on this important proposition,” said Craig Underwood, group chief operating officer at Movera. “Our service combines digital innovation with the personal expertise of our case managers, and the early response from brokers has been fantastic.
“With our first completion achieved within just 18 days of offer – particularly impressive given the complexities of limited company BTL cases – this partnership is already delivering results.”
The integration involved both firms working together on the Lender Exchange platform. Coventry said the decision to work with ONP aligned with its commitment to improving customer experience. In addition, ONP has also joined Coventry Building Society’s main Fees Assisted Remortgage Panel, expanding its support for the lender’s wider client base.
