SortRefer has been appointed as the sole conveyancing provider for Ingard Network, giving its member firms access to the panel manager’s platform and support services.
The partnership will make SortRefer’s conveyancing proposition available to brokers across Ingard Network, which was established in 1991 and comprises between 60 and 70 broker firms.
SortRefer said the arrangement was designed to help intermediaries broaden their service offering while improving the client experience.
Brokers within the network will be able to use SortRefer’s platform to access conveyancing quotes, referral fee options, technology intended to streamline client transactions, and support from SortRefer’s in-house and field-based teams.
The firms said the partnership reflected a shared focus on helping brokers adapt to changing market conditions and create additional value without adding complexity to their workloads.
Kevin Tunnicliffe, chief executive of Sort Group, said: “We’re really pleased to be working with Ingard Network. This partnership is about giving brokers the practical tools and opportunities to grow their business, while making it easier to deliver broader, and more valuable services to their customers.”
Graham Le Bas, head of broker proposition at SortRefer, said: “This partnership is a natural fit for both organisations involved. Ultimately, we’re all about helping brokers and making their working days that little bit easier for them.
“With our system, they can generate quotes in a matter of minutes, have access to a pool of trusted suppliers and earn that extra bit of income. It’s a no brainer.”
Allan Currie, director at Ingard Network, said: “At Ingard, we’re always looking for partners who share our commitment to helping brokers do more for their clients without adding complexity. SortRefer fits that brief perfectly.
“Their technology, panel of trusted suppliers and dedicated support team will allow our brokers to extend their proposition with confidence — and importantly, generate additional revenue while doing so.”
