The group provides valuations and property advisory services.
The MJ Group, a provider of independent valuations and property advisory services, has joined the Association of Short Term Lenders (ASTL) as an associate member.
Established in 2006, the group has been providing its services to international and national banks, challenger banks, bridging lenders, lending institutions, property funds, financial organisations, corporations, and developers. It has grown to become an advisor to more than 50 national and international lenders.
“At MJ Group, we are proud of our reputation for high quality, informed, and independent advice that has become a benchmark for best practice and industry standards,” said Robert Cohen (pictured left), managing director at MJ Group. “In the world of short-term mortgage lending, it’s the ASTL that sets the benchmark for lenders when it comes to high standards and customer focus.
“The recent launch of the CPSP programme, as a joint initiative between the ASTL, the Financial Intermediary and Broker Association (FIBA), and the London Institute of Banking & Finance (LIBF) demonstrates the crucial role the association plays in continuing to drive new standards of professionalism.
“As an organisation that shares many of the ASTL’s values and ambition, we are delighted to become an associate member.”
Vic Jannels (pictured right), chief executive at the ASTL, said he was pleased to welcome MJ Group as the latest professional organisation to become an associate member of the trade body.
“Short-term lending is a vital cog in the property industry, providing a funding solution for a wide variety of circumstances, and it’s important that we work closely with other associated businesses, such as valuers, to ensure we continue to deliver the best possible experience for customers,” Jannels explained.
“This is why associate members are so important to the ASTL, and our growing membership reflects the increasing number of like-minded businesses that want to demonstrate a commitment to high standards.”
