Smart Money has moved its Glasgow operations to larger premises, reflecting its increased levels of business in Scotland.

Business north of the border was up 30% over the first three quarters of 2017 when compared to the same period in 2016.

Paul Crewe, managing director at Smart Money Ltd, said: “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% 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.”
