Roger Allanson
THE former boss of a Bolton solicitors firm - embroiled in a controversial mortgages scheme - has been struck off.
Roger Allanson’s firm, formerly based in Central Street, specialised in breaches in mortgage contracts relating to payment miscalculations.
And he has previously insisted to The Bolton News that there was “nothing dishonest” about the scheme, which had raised £20m and was covered by insurance.
But his industry watchdog, the Solicitors’ Regulation Authority closed down his firm, which also had offices in Wigan, in May 2019.
An intervening agent, Bradford-based Gordons LLP, was appointed, amid claims he had breached solicitors’ operational and accounting rules.
