Altura Mortgage Finance, a London-based independent mortgage broker, has launched a new brand to provide financing options in the areas of bridging, commercial, development and property portfolio finance.
Altura Specialist Finance has been set up as an appointed representative of Altura Mortgage Finance and will operate as its own entity and brand with a website and marketing tailored to the specialist market.
Leading the new brand is specialist property finance expert Guy Nyirenda (pictured), who joined Altura last year as head of specialist and commercial finance.
“I was very excited to come on board at Altura last year to launch their specialist lending proposition,” Nyirenda stated. “Having spent time getting to know the business and setting up the lending panel, I am delighted to be launching Altura Specialist Finance at the perfect time.
“The past 12 months have been particularly challenging for the mortgage and property markets and are likely to remain so for a while yet. It is often during such times that specialist lending comes to the fore, providing solutions where mainstream lenders no longer can, and allowing property professionals to take advantage of the opportunities such markets present.
“Working with our panel of lending partners and introducers to provide a great outcome for our clients is paramount to my vision for the business moving forward.”
Francois Taljaard, operations director at Altura Mortgage Finance, will join Nyirenda in the management team of Altura Specialist Finance.
“Launching a specialist finance proposition is a key part of Altura’s strategy and Guy is the perfect person to have onboard to do so,” Taljaard said. “His vision around the brand, strategy and marketing have been crucial, as are, of course, his contacts, reputation and experience. We look forward to growing Altura Specialist Finance into a major player in the sector.”
