SortRefer has added four firms to its conveyancing panel to improve choice and maintain service standards in the wake of increasing levels of new business.

New conveyancers include Shakespeare Martineau, Taylor Fawcett, Kingsley Drake and Lockings.

SortRefer, which saw a rise of over 50% in its new business in the first quarter of 2016, said that although mortgage transactions have increased, it is seeing a high percentage of new business coming from first time users “disgruntled” by the service they have been receiving from other conveyancing providers.

Kevin Tunnicliffe, managing director at SortRefer, said: “We have always been selective in appointing conveyancers to our panel.

“Only those firms which share our philosophy of customer care and who are prepared to embrace our technology platform, which provides penny accurate quotes and 24/7 case tracking, will represent us.

“I am delighted that our new firms have agreed to join us. I am sure our introducers will benefit from greater choice and our continuing commitment to world class service.”
