Nationwide Building Society has said it will allow mortgage deeds to be signed electronically, without the need for a witness, as part of moves to help speed up and remove some of the inconvenience from the home-buying process.
The change means that people who are purchasing a property or looking to remortgage with Nationwide can sign their mortgage deed electronically, if their solicitor or conveyancer is set up to use qualified electronic signature (QES) technology.
