Dragonfly Property Finance has revealed that it had its biggest month ever in December 2015.
The specialist residential and commercial lender completed on loans totalling £75.22m during the last month of the year, beating its previous high of £68.76m in December 2014.
The record-breaking December contributed to a strong fourth quarter of 2015, up 11.4% by value on the equivalent quarter in 2014. In total, the value of completions in 2015 was 6.1% higher than in 2014.
The number of loans completed in 2015 was also higher than the previous year; Dragonfly completed on 949 loans in 2015 compared to 891 in 2014, an increase of 6.5%.
At the end of 2015, the exceptional fourth quarter performance took Dragonfly to £1.74bn of completions since launch in 2009. The lender expects to pass its next major milestone, £2bn of completions, in the first half of 2016.
Mark Posniak, managing director at Dragonfly Property Finance, said: “I’m very pleased with this fantastic end to the year, especially following the recent management changes. The fourth quarter performance, peaking in December, goes to show how focused and determined this team remains.
“It goes without saying that we are here to do the very best job we can for brokers and their clients, across both residential and commercial, throughout 2016.”
