Acre and Smoove to offer dedicated Scottish conveyancing panel
Acre, the one-click mortgage intermediaries platform, is set to expand its conveyancing partnerships as it launches a Scottish conveyancing panel with Smoove, the award-winning conveyancing platform.
The collaboration between Acre and Smoove means brokers and homeowners have access to specialist conveyancers who understand Scotland’s legal landscape and can support their property move smoothly with the help of industry-leading technology.
Acre brokers can get an all-in conveyancing quote for homebuyers with one click, with clear, competitive pricing presented in Acre’s client portal, knowing transactions will be handled by a high-quality panel of 10 vetted firms with guaranteed service levels. Acre’s pre-validated client data helps identify problems up front and prevent transaction failure and ensures the conveyancing process can be done quickly and smoothly. Smoove’s integration into Acre also means that brokers and homeowners will also benefit from complete transparency with live case updates and commission reconciliation in Acre’s accounting.
Reuben Thompson, Acre’s VP of Product Innovation, said:
“Our user growth across the UK has been phenomenal this past year, particularly north of the border. This comes from our ongoing commitment to supporting the unique nature of Scotland's property market and its legal system. As a result, we felt now is the time to bring onboard a strong legal partner who understands the Scottish landscape our brokers and their clients operate within. Smoove excels at this and, at the same time, knows how to make the best of digital technology in order to transform the homebuying process. We are thrilled to have them join us as a conveyancing partner.”
Justine Gainer, head of new business and strategic partnerships at Smoove added:
“Acre has shown its muscle in delivering new technologies that change how brokers work - making it easier, faster and more efficient. It echoes our belief that digitalization is a great transformer, turning the process of buying a home into a more pleasant experience. Together we have identified the very best in Scottish conveyancing so that leads can be transferred easily to trusted solicitors with vetted information fed by Acre’s best-in-class data capture processes.”
