The new office is based at Park Place in Leeds City Centre, which the firm says will “supercharge” its offering in the north of England, adding to existing offices in Cardiff, Peterborough and Daventry.

Solicitor Sally Hesling will head up the new office. She joins from My Home Move and has worked in the industry for more than 25 years, holding roles at  Optima Legal and Fox Hayes LLP.

Simply Conveyancing says it is actively recruiting for staff.

Chief executive Alan Young says: “Leeds is one of the fastest-growing cities in the UK, with a thriving legal and professional services sector. This makes it an ideal location to support our expanding client base in the region. The investment into Leeds also forms a key part of our future strategic plans for our national client base by building a new team in a city offering a rich talent pool and opportunity for significant growth.”
