SortRefer has boosted its conveyancing offering with the addition of five firms to its legal panel.

The Derby-based online business is expanding its servicing capacity as it prepares for anticipated annual growth of more than 200% in 2014.

SortRefer has added Martin Tolhurst of Kent, Telford-based Martin Kaye, Birmingham specialist, Davisons, PLS from Altrincham, and Stephensons, which has a major regional presence in the north-west of England and London.

Managing director, Kevin Tunnicliffe, said: “We are naturally delighted to be able to welcome five legal firms into the SortRefer fold that have such outstanding conveyancing pedigrees.

“The new firms are well-known to us and have a proven track record in delivering high quality work on time and to budget.

“They have excellent reputations in the market and will compliment our existing panel members, all of whom are among the top 30 firms in the UK who specialise in conveyancing.”

Martin Kaye, PLS and Stephensons will cater for the sale, purchase and remortgage needs of SortRefer’s growing community of mortgage brokers and financial advisers, while Davisons and Martin Tolhurst will initially focus solely on sale and purchase transactions.
