Molo has extended its strategic partnership with conveyancing services provider, LMS, by joining LMS Panel Link.

The specialist mortgage lender said the initiative reinforces its commitment to "delivering greater certainty, control and efficiency" across the UK post-offer mortgage journey.

The move follows the rollout of Molo’s conveyancing proposition with LMS and reflects its focus on strengthening operational resilience, as volumes grow and cases become increasingly complex, which is particularly prevalent in specialist lending.

Through Panel Link, brokers and their clients can connect with a panel of pre-approved law firms through a single, centralised platform.

Molo first integrated with LMS Select via API in March 2024 to commit to digital connectivity, and the Panel Link integration builds on this capability by reducing manual intervention, minimising expectations and improving end-to-end post-offer control.

The partnership also provides access to law firms that meet quality, security and compliance standards, supporting governance while giving flexibility to scale, without compromising service levels for both broker and borrower clients.

Chief executive officer at Molo, Matthew Kimber, said: "Joining Panel Link is a natural progression in our ongoing partnership with LMS. As a lender, our priority is to ensure momentum does not drop after offer. Panel Link provides us with greater visibility and control at a critical stage of the mortgage journey.

"It enables brokers to progress their clients’ cases smoothly, with greater certainty through to completion. As volumes grow, this approach helps us maintain consistency, manage risk effectively and deliver reliable service across increasingly complex cases."

Chief relationship officer at LMS, Suzanne O’Connor, added: "We are delighted to welcome Molo to Panel Link, as our partnership continues to expand. By providing a secure, centralised way to work with trusted law firms, Panel Link supports lenders to scale with confidence, whilst maintaining quality and efficiencies across every transaction."
