BLG has recently launched its specialist Lender Claims and
Mortgage Fraud team to assist clients in dealing with the large
increase in lender claims which has begun to hit the market.
The team is spearheaded by Sarah Clover and Andrew Horrocks who
led the firm's team which was heavily involved in defending
hundreds of claims issued against solicitors and surveyors during
the last wave of claims in the 1990s, including the Nationwide
managed litigation, on the instruction of the Solicitors'
Indemnity Fund.
BLG has extensive experience of defending lender claims against
professionals, including solicitors, surveyors, mortgage brokers,
IFAs and accountants. The team deals with all types of claim,
including residential mortgages and buy to let loans, commercial
property lending and claims arising from borrower or valuer fraud.
We are expert in related coverage issues, including notification,
aggregation, responsive policy year and dishonesty issues.
