A mortgage and financial advice firm in Swansea has expanded to larger premises to support its growth plans.

Sturgess Mortgage Solutions was set up Shaun Sturgess, an experienced mortgage adviser and property consultant two years ago, having worked for a local estate agency for almost a decade.

Originally located a 50 sq ft space above a veterinary surgery, the business has expanded to 1,150 sq ft of office space at Tawe Business Village located at Swansea Enterprise Park. In conjunction with the move, the business has also taken on five new staff, while also investing in a new branch in Pontardawe.

To date it has helped 627 customers from buying their first properties to remortaging. It has facilitated gross lending of £55.6m.

Its growth prospects have been further enhanced further after recently securing a partnership with one of the biggest estate agents in South Wales. It currently has partnership with 11 estate agency firms.

Mr Sturgess, founder and managing director of Sturgess Mortgage Solutions, said: “We are incredibly grateful for our achievements so far as such a young and emerging company. Our growth has not only led to job creation within the region, but means we have been able to help significantly more clients secure their dream home or take their first steps onto the housing ladder.

“To have gained pivotal partnerships with local and trusted estate agencies, and now expanding to two locations shows how ambitious and dedicated we are to become South Wales’s number one brand for property and financial advice.

“We are not going to stop here. We are committed to approaching the next 12 months with the same bullish attitude as the last. My dream and ambition is to make the words mortgage and Sturgess synonymous throughout South Wales and beyond. We are excited to see what the future holds.”
