Millar & Bryce parent company Landmark Information Group acquires Optimus

Optimus has an excellent reputation for making property transactions smoother and faster by providing UK mortgage brokers, introducers and estate agents with access to a select panel of quality and service-driven conveyancing partners. Using the latest technology it provides transparency and fairness for all parties in a property transaction.

The new Optimus business unit will remain in Bristol, with Alan Young (Aventria’s chief commercial officer) as managing director. Mr Young is well known in the intermediary market having previously held senior roles at ULS Technology and John Charcol. The acquisition does not include Aventria’s asset management business.

Simon Brown, CEO of Landmark Information Group said: “The acquisition is transformational for Landmark, enabling us to work more closely with mortgage brokers and other introducers, while continuing to serve existing complementary markets such as legal conveyancing, estate agency and mortgage lending.”

Richard Hepburn, managing director of Millar and Bryce said: “The acquisition of Optimus by our parent Landmark will allow us to work closer together, enabling us to continue, enhance and extend the existing relationship that we currently have with Optimus in Scotland.”
