During 2003, the Rotherham-based mortgage broker placed 6,400 mortgage applications, amounting to a total of £450 million lending, comparing to a figure of £301 million in 2002 - an increase of fifty percent. The target for the 2004 period is £600 million.
Sales Director Steve Mansfield attributes the company's success to a combination of no-nonsense advice and personal service. 'Approximately one third of our business comes from personal recommendation, which is a clear endorsement of the quality of our advice and customer service,' says Mansfield.
'Since Mortgage Talk was established in 1994, we have continued to grow exponentially, and 2003 represented by far our best year ever. With many borrowers expected to remortgage as well as buyers moving home during 2004, we anticipate that this year will see us extending our position further as the UK's leading mortgage broker,' he concludes.
