Introducing Poynton Law Ltd

As an expert legal practice in dealing with Equity Release, Poynton Law Limited understands that the rise in house prices over the last 20 years means that many people have a significant asset in their property but limited money to spend. Pensions are often not what people hoped for, interest rates are low on savings and household budgets are often stretched. A direct result of this is that Equity Release products are becoming more popular.

Poynton Law Ltd was established in 2017 and is a market leader in the speed of completion of cases and expertise in this area. The current average time taken to complete the legal work for an Equity Release case is four weeks. The time for freehold property completions is often two weeks.

Poynton Law Ltd offers home visits to all clients at no extra cost. They do not use Locums, who as brokers are aware, often result in a case failing. Instead, they use fully trained and competent staff with national coverage of England and Wales. Poynton Law Limited can arrange appointments in the evening and at weekends to suit clients needs.

Each case has a dedicated file handler and is overseen by a solicitor with over 20 years’ experience.

Advisers will also have the ability to log into our bespoke CRM system to track each case as it progresses with updates being available at any time. This system ensures that you are made aware of each update and milestone from the start of a matter through to completion

Our Equity Release Strategy

  • The broker sends us a pledge that a client wishes to instruct Poynton Law Ltd.
  • Poynton Law Ltd contact the client and explain the process and an office copy entry and file plan are obtained from the land registry at this time, so that legal title can be reviewed, and potential problems pre-empted.
  • A mortgage offer is then received by Poynton Law Ltd.
  • Poynton Law Ltd contacts the client and ensures that the client is seen within 7 days of receiving the mortgage offer and given the independent legal advice.
  • The solicitor who attends the client sends the documentation back within 48 hours.
  • The documentation is reviewed upon being received and sent to the solicitors acting for the lifetime mortgage company.
  • If there are no queries, a completion date is then set by the solicitor’s acting for the lifetime mortgage company.
  • In the majority of cases there are queries raised by the solicitors acting for the lender, these are responded to and then a date set for completion as soon as the solicitors are satisfied that the issues relating to legal title to the property have been dealt with.
