LendInvest has appointed digital specialist law firm Juno to the legal panel for its buy-to-let product.
Juno specialises in property conveyancing and has a fully online process, including access to an online dashboard, where clients are able to receive regular updates on the process of their case.

Earlier this month, LendInvest revealed its third securitisation, worth £280m, and introduced two 65 per cent and 70 per cent loan-to-value (LTV) products, with rates starting at 3.34 per cent.
The lender has repriced its standard buy-to-let products, with its five-year 75 per cent LTV product now available at 3.39 per cent and a 75 per cent pay rate product at 3.44 per cent. The two-year fixed rate products start from 2.99 per cent.
In January, LendInvest announced a new £500m funding partnership with JP Morgan to finance its buy-to-let product.
