Legal & General Surveying Services Rebrands as Westmarq

Legal & General Surveying Services has announced its new brand identity as Westmarq. The rebrand follows a change of ownership in December 2023 and marks the next phase of the company's development.

Westmarq states that its new tagline, 'The marq of intelligent lending decisions', reflects its aim to support lenders in making smarter, faster, and more confident lending decisions. The company will continue to provide valuation, surveying, and digital reporting services to lenders.

Westmarq's services are supported by its Property Decision Engine, as well as data, audit, and risk management capabilities. The company highlights its foundation of experienced surveyors, established lender relationships, and technical expertise as key strengths.

For UK letting agents and inventory clerks, the rebrand signals continuity in the provision of property valuation and surveying services, with an increased focus on data and technology to support lending decisions.
