Hope Capital is launching its short-term finance proposition in Scotland.

The bridging lender is expanding its offering to brokers and their clients who have property north of the border. This includes a range of bridging loans for residential, mixed-use and commercial property.

Gary Bailey (pictured), managing director of Hope Capital, said: “Despite the challenges of Covid-19, we have experienced a consistent high level of enquiries and now is the time to extend our lending into the underserved Scottish market.

“We’ve been monitoring the Scottish property market and it has remained buoyant in the last 12 months, so it is clear there is a growing demand for bridging finance. This is really great to see, especially after such a challenging year.

“At Hope Capital, we look at every single case on its own merits and try to find a solution for even the most complex cases. We are renowned throughout England and Wales for providing service excellence and support to brokers and their clients, from initial enquiry stage through to completion. We look forward to providing the same excellent service in Scotland and assisting brokers with the delivery of innovative, unique and flexible bridging finance solutions, which will help their clients reach their business and investment ambitions.”

Ewan Macfarlane at Simple Commercial Finance Scotland added: “I am delighted to hear Hope Capital have chosen to offer their unique, competitive bridging finance products in Scotland and I look forward to working with the Hope Capital team in the near future.”
