Glasgow contractors — engineering, finance and digital.
Glasgow pairs a strong engineering and manufacturing heritage with a large financial back-office sector and a growing digital and media scene. Its contractors — engineers, finance professionals and developers — need lenders that read a day rate, and advice that handles Scottish buying. As a whole-of-market, FCA-authorised brokerage, we place Glasgow and West of Scotland contractors, first-time buyers included.
Why Glasgow contractors need a specialist
Glasgow's engineering, financial-services and digital employers create a broad day-rate contractor base. Specialist lenders assess the current contract 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 in the rest of Scotland, you buy via missives through a solicitor and pay Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT) instead of stamp duty. Glasgow's relatively accessible prices make it strong for first-time buyers — see first-time buyer.
