The collaboration between Acre and conveyancing platform Smoove will give brokers and homeowners access to a panel of 10 firms.

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”‍.

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 u making it easier, faster and more efficient.

“It echoes our belief that digitalisation 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.”
