"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"Nationwide Building Society has announced a significant step towards streamlining the home-buying process, confirming that mortgage deeds can now be signed electronically without the traditional requirement for a witness. This change means people purchasing a property or remortgaging with Nationwide can utilise qualified electronic signature (QES) technology, provided their solicitor or conveyancer is equipped to do so. This modern approach is currently applicable to properties located in England and Wales. Traditionally, a mortgage deed, the crucial legal document linking a person's mortgage to their property, has necessitated a physical signature on paper."
The Independent deploys reporters across topics from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech and produces documentaries such as 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The Independent accepts donations to fund on-the-ground reporting, maintains free access without paywalls, and asks readers for support. Nationwide Building Society confirmed that mortgage deeds can now be signed electronically without a witness using qualified electronic signature (QES), applicable for properties in England and Wales. Solicitors or conveyancers must be equipped to use QES. The change follows last year's Land Registry integration and resulted from collaboration with the Land Registry, Your Conveyancer, and Veyco to reduce inconvenience and speed transactions.
