Its brokers gain access to Simplify's legal services with no hidden charges
Mortgage intermediaries platform Acre has announced its partnership with conveyancing and property services firm Simplify, which also owns Premier Property Lawyers (PPL).
The collaboration means that Acre’s brokers will have access to Simplify’s legal services with the confidence of no hidden charges, accompanied by a competitive commission rate.
The integration also allows brokers to see live status updates of each case and direct access via phone and online messaging, to the conveyancer managing the case. Once complete, Acre’s built-in accounting ledger will support brokerage owners in managing and allocating their commission.
Acre also unveiled its revamped Client Portal last month, with new embedded messaging designed to drive better communication between brokers and clients.
“This exciting partnership gives Acre’s brokers and their customers access to one of the highest quality and most consistent conveyancing experiences in the business,” Justus Brown (pictured), chief executive and founder of Acre, commented. “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, added that they were “excited to be on this journey” with Acre, with its vision of changing the homebuying process.
“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.”
