Specialist mortgage lender Vida Homeloans is launching in Scotland with its range of criteria-driven products as part of its ambitious growth plans.
Vida’s range of specialist products are now available to those purchasing or remortgaging Scottish residential and buy-to-let properties, which includes its limited company, houses in multiple occupation and portfolio propositions.
Former HSBC and Royal Bank of Scotland employee Kenny Clark has been appointed as Vida’s key account manager in Scotland, and will be the primary point of contact for intermediaries.
Commenting on his appointment, Clark said: “I am really pleased to be joining Vida at such an exciting time in its expansion plans.
“I look forward to representing Vida in Scotland and to be the primary point of contact for Scottish brokers. I can see Vida’s unique BTL and Expat propositions being very popular in key Scottish cities such as Aberdeen, Glasgow and Edinburgh.”
The lender will be hosting two launch events. One in Glasgow on 2 October and the other in Edinburgh on 3 October.
Vida sales and marketing director Guy Batchelor added: “I am very pleased to be announcing the launch of our proposition into Scotland.
“I believe our specialist products will be popular with Scottish brokers and their clients, and I hope we can continue to help more intermediaries get specialist cases off their desks.”
