We spoke to Rich and Nicki to find out about their highlights of 2021 at Aspire Property Finance
“Moving to a new role in the middle of last year might have seemed brave at the time but Nicki and I couldn’t have been happier with the move and how welcoming, professional and fun to work with the team at SWBF (the sister brand of Aspire Property Finance) has been. This year we’ve been building new and existing client relationships and driving business forward, helped in no small measure by the addition of Rachael, assisting us with the administration of all applications. Between the three of us, we have a close-knit and efficient team that effectively handles enquiries from start to completion. We’re positive for the future and very thankful for the fantastic clients and friends we get to work with every day!
Following the challenges that 2020 brought to the Buy to Let lending market, 2021 has been much more of a return to normality. Lenders have expanded their ranges to bring back everything that was withdrawn during the initial 2020 lockdowns, ending the year with lower rates, special edition products and new propositions. The expansion of the UK Holiday Let market has led to more lender choice and more to follow in 2022. Technology has also been a focus this year, with automated valuations moving from being a necessity during the early days of the pandemic to something that is now being explored and implemented into lender’s offerings.
Looking towards 2022 we of course hope that the difficulties faced for the past couple of years are put behind us and wish every client, lender, colleague and introducer a safe and enjoyable holiday period.”
