Dundee contractors — video games, life sciences and design.
Dundee is a globally recognised video-games city, with a strong biomedical and life-sciences base and a growing design and digital scene. Its contractors — game developers, scientists and creatives — need lenders that read a day rate, and advice that handles buying a home in Scotland. As a whole-of-market, FCA-authorised brokerage, we place Dundee and Tayside contractors.
Why Dundee contractors need a specialist
Dundee's games, life-sciences and design employers create a growing day-rate and freelance base. Specialist lenders assess the current contract or net profit rather than years of accounts — and we handle Scotland's distinct buying process and LBTT rather than stamp duty.
Buying a home in Scotland
As across Scotland, you buy via missives through a solicitor and pay Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT) instead of stamp duty. Dundee's relatively accessible prices make it strong for first-time buyers — see first-time buyer.
