Paul Crewe, director at Smart Money Loans, said: “Lenders are beginning to wake up to the opportunities that Northern Ireland provides.
“Thanks to moves by a few more far sighted lenders, I am sure we are going to see more lenders follow suit this year and SML with staff on the ground is in a great position to help them develop their proposition in this important market.”
Gerry Doherty said: “There is a lot of pent up demand over here for alternative capital raising methods, particularly as remortgaging is proving to be more difficult for many would be borrowers, so I am sure SML will have plenty of work to do with brokers keen to make use of these facilities.”
