About Us
Back in 2000, Ashley and Susan King had a vision: to make moving homes simpler and less stressful. What started as a small corporate panel manager for estate agents quickly grew into something much bigger. By 2009, we shifted our focus to the independent estate agency and mortgage broking market – and that's when Simply Conveyancing Property Lawyers was born.
From the early days, we've never stopped innovating. Today, we're proud to be the highest-rated residential conveyancing law firm on Feefo and Trustpilot. Our team of over 100 dedicated professionals, based across the UK, works to make every home move as smooth as possible.
Innovation is in our DNA – we've made legal history as the first property law firm in the UK to integrate Alexa into our systems. This means our clients can get real-time updates, guidance on paperwork, and answers about the conveyancing process – all with a simple voice command. It's just one of the various ways we keep our clients informed and in control.
At the heart of everything we do is our culture of Customer Excellence. We don't just aim to meet expectations – we strive to exceed them. By keeping communication clear and proactive between clients, estate agents, and lawyers, we remove the confusion and frustration that often comes with moving home. Because for us, it's not just about transactions – it's about people, trust, and making life easier.
Our mission at Simply is simply: to deliver exceptional conveyancing services driven by a trusted team of property experts who care about giving our customers a stress-free experience and peace of mind.
Our Values
