"We acquired CTW because of its excellent reputation, strong team and scale in London and the south-east, which will complement Simplify’s own strengths. In a turbulent time for the housing market, it is great to be able to look forward and continue delivering our plans for growth and to further strengthen our position as the undisputed number 1 in UK conveyancing," David Grossman, Simplify CEO.
