Legal & General Surveying Services Rebrands as Westmarq

Legal & General Surveying Services (LGSS) has rebranded as Westmarq, launching its new identity as a surveying brand in the UK. The company will continue to operate as a specialist surveying partner for lenders.

According to the business, lenders will still receive the same technical expertise and relationship-led service, with the addition of enhanced tools and insights to support valuation and risk assessment throughout the lending process. The rebrand is intended to reflect the firm's evolving focus on providing property intelligence alongside surveying services, aiming to help lenders access consistent information and select suitable valuation approaches for individual cases.

The company stated that it is building on its foundation of experienced surveyors, established lender relationships, and technical expertise, while combining these strengths with improved data and technology. The rebrand marks the next stage in the firm's development.

This development is relevant to UK letting agents and inventory clerks who work closely with lenders and surveyors, as it signals ongoing changes in the property valuation and risk assessment landscape.
