Countrywide Surveying Services and Leeds Building Society renew terms

Countrywide Surveying Services (CSS) has announced the renewal of its partnership with Leeds Building Society.

“We greatly value the excellent relationships that we continue to build with all our lender clients and are delighted that Leeds Building Society have chosen to renew their relationship with us,” commented CSS managing director, Matthew Cumber.

Head of mortgage lending at Leeds Building Society, Yvonne Langley-Brook, added: “With many shared values, working with Countrywide is genuinely a partnership founded on integrity and collaboration and we look forward to working closely with the team going forward.”
