Crystal Mortgages issued terms on £60.3 million of new business in the third quarter of 2012.

The firm has issued over over £227.7 million this year, an 18% increase against the corresponding period in 2011.

“It was a difficult quarter, and in line with the sector August was a very slow month, more so than usual,” said Roger Dewsbery (pictured), senior underwriter at Crystal Mortgages.

“That said we had a good July and bounced back spectacularly in September, meaning we continue to trade at record levels.

“We expect our figures in the final quarter of the year to remain steady as the economy continues to fluctuate, and to achieve this we will continue to offer a full personalised service and range of products that are just not available anywhere else in the marketplace.”
