Connells has announced pre-tax profits of £63.2m compared to £50.2m last year, allowing it to claim it is the most profitable UK estate agency group.
The group puts much of the rise down to investment in its mortgage services division, which recorded a 12.8 per cent uplift in completed mortgages in 2014.
We focused on investing in the division and growing our capability through infrastructure, boosting mortgage consultant numbers to over 500 - our highest ever head count - and providing extensive training for all advisors according to Adrian Scott, Connells Group mortgage services director.
The company - which acquired the Peter Alan agency last summer - says mortgage services remains a core focus for Connells in 2015 with further investment and expansion planned. The group says it has strong relationships with its lender partners enabling it to offer exclusive deals due to its highly controlled and robust distribution model.
