Yorkshire Building Society expands its web services

Yorkshire Building Society has announced two new services available via its website.
Firstly, a conveyancing service is available for house purchase, sale, or remortgage. It is provided to the Society by United Legal Services Limited.

What used to be a laborious trawl through the Yellow Pages is now a two-minute job using this web based service. Initially thirty legal firms are on the list and they will provide a quotation based on the sale, remortgage or purchase price.

Quotes can be sorted by price, location or rating and the Yorkshire guarantees that if a customer finds a cheaper price from one of the listed firms direct they will not only match the lower price, but will reduce the price by a further £50.

Key features of the service are as follows:

Competitive pricing – with a money back guarantee
Get an exact quote in 2 minutes
No sale, No fee (excluding disbursements)
A wide choice of approved solicitors
Case tracking online 24/7
Real time email/text updates
Guaranteed service standards
Available to all – YBS customers or not

The second new service is Yorkshire Building Society Sharedealing. This new service is provided by Stocktrade, a division of Brewin Dolphin Securities Limited, a member of the London Stock Exchange. The service allows customers to buy and sell shares online or over the telephone.

The sharedealing service is available to everyone, regardless of whether deals are frequent or infrequent, and whether investors are experienced or totally new to sharedealing.

Deals can be done from as little as:

£11 per deal online

or

£11.25 per deal over the telephone

David Jackson, Head of E-Commerce commented, “ We are constantly looking to add value to the Society’s online offerings and the new services we are offering today can potentially save hundreds of pounds and a lot of time. Up to now the web is best known for the purchase of consumer goods but the services sector is catching up quickly. These two new services will enhance not only the experience of our own customers but since they are available to everyone, hopefully some new ones too!”
