ONP Solicitors is expanding its Leeds operation to meet a rising demand for its conveyancing and remortgage services and the Yorkshire area being a hub of Conveyancing talent.

The Stockport-based firm opened its Leeds base as a satellite office in May last year but has grown organically to accommodate a team of over 30 Case Managers at the start of 2023. Now, the company wants to accelerate this growth, increasing demand for its technology-led, innovative and customer focussed conveyancing service that should see an office where over 100 conveyancers are based.

The expansion will be led by Craig Underwood, Chief Operating Officer and Mark Tosetti, Group Partnership Director, both veterans of the conveyancing market, and both well acquainted with Leeds’ legal landscape having joined from Optima Legal at the end of 2022.

The firm’s CEO, Nick Hale, who was recruited as part of a new leadership team, commented: “Our goal is to continue our growth in a sustainable and manageable way, putting people at the heart of our business.

“Under the leadership of Craig and Mark, we aim to continue to train and develop an experienced team in the conveyancing industry that can provide the best possible customer outcomes. We will continue to innovate and utilise cutting-edge technology to benefit both customers and our partners.

“Our goal is to develop a culture where everyone in the business is focused on the customer experience – from instruction to completion.”

The Leeds office now has 34 colleagues who specialise in the remortgaging market and ONP plans to hire and train more talent in the future, in this region and other locations.
