Montpellier Legal, one of the UK’s fastest-growing conveyancing firms, has announced a landmark year marked by major innovation milestones, industry recognition, and significant investment to accelerate its mission to modernise the home-moving experience.

CEO Simon Thomas spoke with broadcaster Faye Hatcher about the firm’s vision to redefine conveyancing through a powerful combination of cutting-edge technology and a deep commitment to social and environmental responsibility. This vision was formally recognised in 2025 when Montpellier Legal earned B Corporation accreditation—an internationally respected certification awarded to companies that meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability.

“Becoming a B Corp signals our dedication to balancing profit with purpose,” said Thomas. “We believe the conveyancing sector can be both technologically advanced and ethically driven, and we’re proud to lead the way.”

Adding to its momentum, Montpellier Legal this year celebrated a strategic collaboration with Foresight Group, a leading listed private equity and infrastructure investment manager. Foresight has agreed a significant investment in the firm, further strengthening Montpellier Legal’s position as a pioneering force in the property-services landscape.

Thomas added: “Partnering with Foresight Group provides us with the financial and strategic support to scale our technology, expand our team, and continue delivering a modern, transparent and efficient conveyancing service for clients nationwide.”
