<\/p>\nCox & Co, one of Scotland\u2019s leading property service companies,has expanded into England establishing a new finance division.<\/p>\n
The Edinburgh firm was acquired by County Durham-based Casa Group eight months ago and has been operating as a standalone company since the seven-figure deal.
The acquisition laid the foundations for the company\u2019s first cross-Border move in the form of Casa Finance and gives Casa access to a broad range of specialist and mainstream lenders and allows it to now provide qualified, impartial mortgage advice across all lending types, from first-time buyers to experienced investors and high-net-worth individuals.
Casa Finance is a trading style of Cox & Co, which is authorised and regulated by the financial conduct authority, with the new arm of the business set to create a number of employment opportunities in the north east of England and across the UK.
From commercial lending and equity release to portfolio restructuring and private client finance, the new division will offer what bosses believe is a one-stop shop for clients.
Grant Williamson has been appointed as the firm\u2019s first mortgage adviser south of the Border having had similar roles with both Barclays and most recently Howden.
John Cox, managing director for Casa Group Scotland, will be spearheading the growth of the financial services arm and he said: \u201cThe acquisition allows us to expand Cox & Co\u2019s finance arm across the group with the launch of Casa Finance. We can now provide a whole of market mortgage proposition to new customers as well as our existing pool of clients and landlords alongside our lettings, sales and property management services.
\u201cWe believe we are now a true one-stop shop for buyers, sellers, prospective tenant buyers and investors across the UK and our ambition is to become fastest growing property services group in the UK, offering a true turnkey service.
\u201cWe have been working hard on integrating Cox & Co into the wider group. As a board, we have taken a considered and structured approach to ensure everything is implemented correctly. Our priority has been to fully prepare the financial arm for rollout, ensuring we have the necessary capacity in place and have recruited appropriately.
\u201cGrant Williamson joins as our first England-based mortgage advisor. He is greatly experienced and fits in the group perfectly with his personality and aspirations for personal growth.\u201d
Grant Williamson (pictured left with John Cox) said: \u201cThe company is built on strong values. The whole team is extremely professional and there are big plans for the future. To join a company at the start of what is planned to be a massive phase of growth is an absolute dream for me. The job is a perfect fit for myself and I\u2019m looking forward to building on existing relationships and creating new ones. I\u2019m very excited about working with the talent and knowledge base already here while having the flexibility to put my own stamp on the business.\u201d<\/p>\n
