Vida Homeloans expands into Scotland

Mortgage products offered by Vida Homeloans are now available to buy-to-let landlords in Scotland.

The specialist lender’s offerings, which are available to those purchasing or remortgaging properties in Scotland, include its limited company, houses in multiple occupation and portfolio propositions.

To help support its expansion into Scotland, Vida has appointed Kenny Clark, formerly of HSBC and the Royal Bank of Scotland, as the new key account manager in Scotland.

Clark, who will be the main point of contact for mortgage intermediaries, said: “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 buy-to-let and expat propositions being very popular in key Scottish cities such as Aberdeen, Glasgow and Edinburgh.”

Vida Homeloans hosted an event in Glasgow this week and another in Edinburgh to celebrate the launch.

The specialist lender, which launched two years ago, now has 10,000 intermediaries registered to conduct business.

Guy Batchelor, sales and marketing director at Vida Homeloans, commented: “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.”
