If you are taking out a mortgage in Preston or anywhere in Lancashire, you may be asked to obtain Independent Legal Advice (ILA). This is especially common where a lender wants to ensure that all parties fully understand the risks involved.
At Adkirk Law, we provide fast, lender-approved Independent Legal Advice to help keep your mortgage process moving smoothly.
When Is Independent Legal Advice Required?
You may need ILA if:
- You are a joint borrower but not an owner
- You are being added to a mortgage without owning the property
- A lender requires confirmation you understand the risks
- You are supporting someone else’s mortgage
This is common across Preston, Chorley, Leyland and the wider Lancashire area.
What Happens During an ILA Appointment?
The process is quick and straightforward:
- We review your documents
- We explain the legal risks clearly
- You confirm your understanding
- We complete the lender’s certificate
Most appointments can be completed remotely, often on the same day.
Why Do Lenders Require ILA?
Lenders use ILA to protect both themselves and you. It ensures:
- You are not under pressure
- You understand your financial obligations
- The agreement is legally valid
Without ILA, lenders may refuse to proceed.
