New short-term provider Inspired Lending expands into Scotland

Inspired Lending has announced its expansion into the Scottish lending market.

The bridging finance provider launched in England and Wales in November 2023 and has now extended its offering north of the border.

Its range of unregulated bridging loans, refurbishment finance and bespoke short-term loans is now available to intermediaries and their clients in Scotland. It offers loan facilities up to £5m secured against residential, commercial, semi-commercial and industrial properties.

As part of the move into the Scottish market, Inspired Lending recently appointed Scotland-based solicitor Wilson McKendrick to its panel.

Inspired Lending was launched last year by Gavin Diamond, who has had a career spanning over 15 years in the short-term and specialist lending industry to date. He previously headed up the bridging finance division at United Trust Bank before becoming CEO of Spring Finance.

Gavin Diamond, CEO at Inspired Lending, commented: “It has always been our intention to lend in Scotland and, having seen how well our products and service have gone down in England and Wales, we felt now is the ideal time to launch to the Scottish market.

“We’re looking forward to working closely with Allan McKendrick and the rest of the team at Wilson McKendrick as brokers in Scotland take advantage of our simple and speedy, bespoke funding solutions.”
