Mortgage intermediary platform Acre has announced a partnership with national conveyancing firm Simplify and the owners of Premier Property Lawyers (PPL).
Acre said the partnership will give its brokers access to “immediate, transparent” conveyancing services with “no hidden charges [and] a competitive commission rate”.
The platform said its brokers will see a “speedier conveyancing process” as a result of the partnership with increased conversation rates. The conveyancer’s live progress on each case will be visible to brokers, who will also be given direct access via phone and online messaging to the conveyancer managing the case.
Justus Brown, Acre’s CEO and founder, said the partnership will “give Acre’s brokers and customers access to the one of the highest quality and most consistent conveyancing experiences in the business,” adding:
“Our technology means PPL conveyancers get pre-validated client and property data, which speeds up this important stage of the home-buying process. We’re excited to work with Simplify because our brokers will see updates in the same system as the conveyancers rather than relying on manual updates to a different website.”
Dev Malle, Chief Business Development Officer at Simplify said:
“Acre has a vision to change the process of buying a home, and we are excited to be on this journey with them. By taking a digital-first approach, we can be competitive in the market, using data from Acre’s platform to provide realistic quotes and feed information into our systems to move faster, meet deadlines, provide up-to-the-minute reporting and, ultimately, improve the clients’ experience.
