Smart Money expands Scottish operations

14 November 2017

Specialist finance broker Smart Money has moved its Glasgow operations to larger premises on the back of a successful 2017.

This expansion reflects Smart Money’s increased levels of business in Scotland - up 30 per cent over the first three quarters of 2017 when compared to the same period in 2016 – and emphasises heightened interest in specialist lending throughout the Scottish intermediary community.

Smart Money’s presence in Scotland has grown steadily through its extensive BDM network. A close working relationship with Glasgow-based consumer lending specialists Wilson McKendrick Solicitors has been established to ensure that local expertise and support is being fully utilised.

Paul Crewe, Managing Director at Smart Money Ltd, commented:

“Here at Smart Money we have long recognised the importance of the Scottish marketplace and how local knowledge can add real value to a variety of specialist offerings. Suffice to say that 100 per cent of our Scottish business is dealt with by local experts who understand the differences in lending practices and quirks in property law.

“We fully expect this area of the business to continue on this growth projection in 2018 and we will work hard to ensure that Scottish intermediaries have access to an extensive range of second charge offerings.
