Simply Conveyancing has announced the opening of a new office in Leeds.
Alan Young, CEO of Simply Conveyancing, said that Leeds is one of the “fastest-growing cities in the UK”, with a “thriving legal and professional services sector”. He continued:
“This makes it an ideal location to support our expanding client base in the region. The investment into Leeds also forms a key part of our future strategic plans for our national client base by building a new team in a city offering a rich talent pool and opportunity for significant growth.
We are continuing to invest heavily in our people, places and technology, with a focus on raising standards, modernising and evolving what has typically been an archaic, slow-to-change industry.”
Situated in the heart of Leeds City Centre at the refurbished Park Place, the new office represents a strategic expansion that will supercharge Simply Conveyancing’s offering in the north of England, adding to existing offices in Cardiff, Peterborough, and Daventry, they stated. The new office will be spearheaded by new appointment, legal director Sally Hesling.
Industry solicitor Sally Hesling joins from My Home Move and brings a stellar track record with over 25 years of experience including roles at Optima Legal and Fox Hayes LLP. Simply Conveyancing is actively recruiting for staff, with the Leeds office presenting a “range of exciting and flexible opportunities for ambitious and aspiring property lawyers including for Simply Conveyancing’s industry-leading Academy Property Lawyer Programme”.
Backed by private equity investors, Livingbridge, Simply Conveyancing, has been expanding in recent years and now has 300 employees with offices across England and Wales.
New office address: 46 Park Place, Leeds, LS1 2R

All of this, whilst retracting offers elsewhere
and after over recruiting in the latter part of last year leading to a flurry of redundancies as well.
It does not matter how much you expand if you do not recruit quality experienced conveyancers. As we know tech is not the answer. Considering what this firm are currently allegedly telling their clients about conveyancing timescales, they really are a threat to the standards of conveyancing chains at present.
Rather than expanding, surely they should be putting their own house in order and considerably upping the professional standards to which they work at present? Otherwise the problem is, by association, we are all tarred with the same brush that they use to impersonate conveyancing transactions.
