# Legal Mortgage

Legal Mortgage is a specialist legal information resource dedicated to mortgage law, practice, and litigation across England and Wales. Founded by Nigel Clayton, a highly experienced barrister and civil recorder at Kings Chambers in Manchester, the platform provides authoritative guidance on mortgage law, legal charges, and property security matters.

The website serves a professional audience including solicitors, barristers, property professionals, and individuals requiring detailed knowledge of mortgage litigation and legal procedures. It distinguishes itself through content created by industry specialists—solicitors and barristers with genuine expertise—rather than generic legal commentary. Nigel Clayton's credentials are particularly noteworthy: called to the Bar in 1987, he has spent his entire career specialising in property law and mortgage litigation, representing major financial institutions and borrowers in high-profile cases. He has authored the definitive text "Mortgage Possession Actions" and contributed to Atkin's Court Forms on mortgages, establishing him as a leading authority in the field.

The platform offers case reports, articles, and regular updates on evolving legal developments. Its practical focus on procedure and practice makes it invaluable for lawyers handling mortgage disputes, debt recovery professionals, and those navigating complex property security arrangements. As of January 2026, IQ Legal Training Limited now manages the site, ensuring continued editorial quality and relevance. The resource remains free to access, though subscription options are available for regular updates, making specialist knowledge accessible without prohibitive cost barriers.
