Premier Property Lawyers

What Premier Property Lawyers does

Premier Property Lawyers is a UK-regulated conveyancing firm founded in 2001 and headquartered in Narborough, Leicester, providing fixed-fee residential property legal services across England and Wales. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of My Home Move and part of the Simplify group, described as the UK's largest independent conveyancing and property services group. The firm holds a pioneering regulatory position as the first Alternative Business Structure (ABS) licensed in the UK (October 2011) and operates under the supervision of the Council for Licensed Conveyancers (CLC). It serves individual home buyers, sellers, and remortgagors, alongside first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors, with sub-segments targeted via dedicated content and dedicated-conveyancer-led case handling.

The firm's core product is its conveyancing service, priced on a fixed-fee basis with a 'No Sale, No Legal Fee' guarantee and supported by the proprietary eWay online case management portal. eWay provides clients with 24/7 real-time document review, digital signing, and case tracking via PC, tablet, or smartphone, and operates a parallel portal for introducer partners. The technology stack underpins both the consumer experience and the introducer workflow, including an online quote engine, a bank account verification system for payments fraud protection, and an introducer reward scheme.

The business model combines one-time conveyancing legal fees with pass-through search and disbursement fees, and pays an average £252.82 referral fee per transaction to introducers. Go-to-market is primarily channel-led: estate agents and financial advisers refer clients in return for referral fees, while a direct-to-consumer online quote tool supplements acquisition. The firm completes transactions in all 109 postcode areas in England and Wales, reports having served hundreds of thousands of families over its history, and operates with a headcount in the 51–100 range.
