Firm reports record figures despite marketplace challenges

Property, legal and financial specialists Sort Group has reported significant growth over the last 12 months, further supported by a strong first half of the year.

Sort Group consists of brands SortRefer (an online portal for mortgage intermediaries), Sort Move (an online portal for estate agents) and Sort Legal, the group’s own law firm.

May and June were exceptional for the group in terms of growth, with SortRefer achieving its best completion month so far this year, marking an increase of 15% since its previous best completion month in March.

Despite the current economic climate, SortRefer also enjoyed its highest number of remortgage instructions to date, which was up by 10% on the previous best results seen in March.

Sort Legal celebrated the highest number of completions in May and June, an increase of 22% compared to January.

In addition to achieving record figures, Sort Group has received several high-profile awards over the last couple of months, including a Top 50 SME Apprenticeship Employer for Sort Legal and chief executive Kevin Tunnicliffe named ‘Business Leader: Conveyancer’ at the British Mortgage Awards 2023.

Kevin said: “I’m delighted with our fantastic results, especially as the marketplace is currently very unpredictable.

“Our success is down to a huge team effort across the whole group, from our in-house tech team and sales support teams to our marketing, relationship, and legal teams.

“Every department is dedicated to making positive change both at Sort Group and for the industry as a whole – where we want to push forward, implement better solutions and encourage collaborations that will benefit everyone.”
