Yorkshire accountants reveal new residential mortgage scheme for customers

Sutton McGrath Hartley (SMH) has set up a new residential mortgage company to extend the group’s offering to clients.

The Yorkshire and Derbyshire-based chartered accountant and financial adviser will be headed by a new partner, Dan Lukic, who has almost two decades of sector experience.

From now on, SMH clients will not need to seek professional mortgage advice outside of the group, or work with advisers they don’t already know, safe in the knowledge that SMH can provide a complete financial service within one group of companies.

Jonathon Dickens, SMH partner, said: ’It has always been part of our long term plan to set up new companies within the SMH group to handle the growing range of financial needs of our clients, this is a perfect additional service to help achieve this objective.

“A larger number of our clients have residential mortgages, whether it’s on their own home or on a residential property they rent out, therefore it makes perfect sense for us to bring this service in-house.

“We’re delighted to have Dan on board to develop this new service area.”

Dan Lukic, partner at SMH Residential Mortgages, concluded: “The opportunity to join SMH and head up a new department in my specialist field is something that really appeals to me.

“The objective at SMH Residential Mortgages is to offer a fully independent ‘whole of market’ service, such as buy to let loans, re-mortgaging, first time buyers and home mover mortgages.

“We can help ensure that not only are our clients getting the most appropriate mortgage for their requirements, but they also take into consideration the bigger picture when it comes to protecting and securing this against unforeseen circumstances.”
