Signature Property Finance has appointed Scott McClymont (pictured) as relationship manager in Scotland, joining forces with the firm’s Edinburgh-based lending manager, Alan Coats.
Coats said: “We are pleased Scott decided to join Signature, having him on board further strengthens our Scotland team, with a wealth of lending experience in structuring property loan facilities for his clients.
“Given the uncertainty surrounding Government policies, the property sector will undoubtedly prove challenging.
“This makes it even more important to recruit experienced individuals like Scott, who has personally managed strategic client and broker relationships for over 20 years.
“Throughout the pandemic Signature focused on completing deals for existing clients, providing the support needed to get their deals done.
“Our strategy proved successful and enquiries increased, prompted no doubt by our commitment to follow through on the terms we agree at the outset.
“Now is the right time to expand our offering further in Scotland, to ensure property investors and developers can benefit from Signature’s unique brand of short-term property finance, delivered by people who truly understand their local market.
McClymont added: “Signature Property Finance came highly recommended to me.
“It’s a very well-managed business with an exceptional, highly experienced senior team and presents great potential to work alongside Tony Gilbertson and Alan Coats to support our property brokers and clients right across Scotland.
“The business came through the recent market challenges impressively, continuing its growth strategy, and having had the growth strategy explained to me, I was keen to join the team and add my skills to those already in place.
“I’m looking forward to ensuring Signature becomes Scotland’s first choice provider of short-term property finance for investors and developers seeking certainty of funding.”
Coats concluded: “Appointing Scott allows Signature to connect more closely with brokers, developers and investors across Scotland, who recognise the need for a high-quality service, delivered by the same individual at every stage of the deal, from enquiry to exit.
“Scott will play a central role in promoting Signature’s offering and our appetite for lending.
“Our innovative approach combined with our own in-house legal team, ensures every client gets the quick, hassle-free service on which our reputation is built.”
