ScotLend Group is a specialist bridging lender headquartered in Scotland, founded by entrepreneur Sanjay Agarwal and finance expert David Travers. The business has scaled rapidly to become Scotland’s leading provider of security-based finance. Following significant equity backing in June 2024, ScotLend now lends across Scotland, England and Wales. The business is built on clear decision-making, transparency and a straightforward approach to lending, delivering reliable outcomes for brokers and borrowers without unnecessary complexity.
We look at the deal, not the postcode. ScotLend lends across the UK with a straightforward, common-sense approach to underwriting. Brokers deal directly with decision-makers and get clear answers without delay. We are well-funded, with capital ready to deploy, and focused on consistent delivery rather than promises. Transparency runs through every deal, from first conversation to completion. No smoke and mirrors, no unnecessary friction. Just a lender that does what it says it will do.
We specialise in first- and second-charge bridging, refurbishment, auction and investment purchases anywhere in Great Britain, with no postcode exclusions. Brokers get a direct underwriting decision in one hour, not days.
