Landmark White slapped down by valuations body over security claims

Landmark White dismissed its suspension by two of the country's largest banks and said if any other mortgage lenders followed suit in the wake of a second data breach it would only reward what it called "the criminal attempting to damage LMW’s reputation".

But the troubled valuation firm, which suffered a further 16 per cent slump in its share price on Monday, provoked the anger of peers when it said if other lenders followed suit due to the acts of a criminal, it would also put the viability of the wider valuation industry into question.
