He continued: “To meet the forecast levels of applications we have spent the last six months strengthening our team to ensure our service levels remain second-to-none, and we have expanded our office space by 50 per cent to create the finest working environment.
“We remain positive about the UK property market and we are here to deliver consistent and swift bridging to quality customers and projects.”
