Independent Legal Advice (ILA)

When lenders, mortgage providers, or solicitors require Independent Legal Advice (ILA), it’s crucial that the advice comes from a qualified, regulated solicitor who can confirm you fully understand the documents you are signing.

At Conveyancing Hub, we make this process simple, fast, and fully compliant by connecting you with SRA-regulated solicitors who can provide ILA remotely, through secure online video appointments or in person, if required.

What Is Independent Legal Advice (ILA)?

Independent Legal Advice is required when you are asked to sign a legal document that could create a personal financial risk or liability.
It ensures that you receive impartial, independent guidance, from a solicitor acting only for you, not the bank or another party.

You may need ILA in situations such as:

  • Mortgage guarantee or third-party mortgage

  • Transfer of equity or property ownership

  • Joint borrower, sole proprietor (JBSP) mortgages

  • Director’s or personal guarantees

  • Deed of trust or gift of equity

  3. Online Meeting: You’ll have a video consultation to discuss every clause in plain English.

  4. Certification Issued: The solicitor signs and returns the ILA certificate directly to the lender or your conveyancer.

Appointments are typically arranged within 24-48 hours, and certification is completed immediately after the session.
