"In a turbulent time for the housing market, it is great to be able to look forward and continue delivering our plans for growth and to further strengthen our position as the undisputed number one in UK conveyancing.
"Over the past year we have demonstrated our ability to successfully deploy our award winning technology across multiple conveyancing firms in the group and expand the reach of our market leading eWay digital platform.
"While we continue to grow all parts of the group organically, we will also explore other opportunities to add further strength to the group through further acquisitions"
