Property maintenance firm, Humphrey & Gray, has joined the Association of Short-Term Lenders (ASTL) as an associate member.
Humphrey & Gray has more than 30 years’ experience in supporting lenders and asset managers to maintain and safeguard commercial and residential properties across the UK.
Firms that join the ASTL typically work in the bridging and secured loan sectors and provide short-term loans and mortgages, normally ranging between six months to a year.
Members of the association must abide by a code of conduct which requires them to disclose costs and fees up front with no small print or misrepresentation of product offerings, and also not charge non-refundable fees which could be perceived as being excessive.
Humphrey & Gray director, Thomas Martin, commented: “Regardless of location, we are able to offer property solutions for all trades through our true nationwide coverage. We provide a vast array of services which include, site assessments, repossession lock changes, drain downs, clearances, additional security, insurance inspections and many more.
“We are all about delivering a high level of service and this aligns closely with the values of the ASTL. We are delighted to become associate members of the association and look forward to working together with other members and associate members to continue to advance the reputation and growth of this great industry.”
CEO of the ASTL, Vic Jannels, added: “I’m delighted to welcome Humphrey & Gray as the latest professional organisation to become an associate member of the ASTL. Short-term lending is a vital cog in the property industry, providing a funding solution for a wide variety of circumstances, and the reputation of our sector is built on all of the businesses involved.
“This is why associate members are so important to the ASTL, and our growing membership reflects the increasing number of like-minded businesses that want to demonstrate a commitment to high standards and focus on the end customer. By working together, we can help make this an even better industry for everyone involved.”
