Landwood Group has become the latest professional organisation to join the Association of Short Term Lenders (ASTL) as an associate member.

The firm is an expert in property and plant and machinery providing services in recovery and valuation, asset management, project and building consultancy and property auctions.

Landwood Group has a team of chartered surveyors across offices in Manchester, Liverpool and London.

The group’s director of property, Michael Fitzpatrick, said that property makes up an “important part” of its proposition.

“We offer recovery advice, valuations, property advisory services, sales, and lettings, and auctions,” Fitzpatrick commented.

“Our real strength comes from our years of experience dealing with distressed properties, with myself and a number of my colleagues acting as fixed charge receivers.

“At the heart of all of these services is our continued focus on a quick turn around whilst still delivering high standards, and we are pleased to become associate members of the ASTL, as the foremost trade body for championing standards in this part of the market.”

ASTL CEO, Vic Jannels, added: “I am really pleased to welcome Landwood Group on board as associate members of the ASTL. We are growing our membership with like-minded businesses that demonstrate a commitment to high standards and the end customer.

“This is helping to grow the reputation of the short term lending sector and build a larger market for all of our members, associate members and intermediaries involved in this area.”
