Provision of an office to specifically service the Northern Irish market has been some months in the planning. The office will offer intermediaries one of the widest choices of lenders in the region, including Birmingham Midshires, First National and Mortgages plc.
Raj Bayrajee will head up the Northern Ireland operation. He brings a wealth of experience to EM Financial following 6 successful years as an independent mortgage broker in the region.
Bayrajee says “We are set up to extend EM Financial’s very high levels of service to the brokers in the area. Unlike many packagers we are front loading the service, taking more time and care with DIPs at the initial stage to minimize the stress caused by the recommendation of the wrong product and improve the application to completion ratio.
Roger Morris, Managing Director of EM Financial added “I’m delighted at the opening of the Northern Ireland office. We are a nationally based packager, but local offices like this one allow us to have an important local presence. This represents an extension to our policy of localization.”
Raj is joined in the office by 4 underwriters and a 3 strong business development team all supporting the needs of Northern Irish brokers.
