Naismiths offers a comprehensive and detailed approach to project monitoring. Reporting is thorough with sensible reporting formats but that doesn’t prevent the team from picking up the phone if there is something urgent or issues arise.

We have found the company to be a safe pair of hands and a first line of defence for our development finance portfolio.

We consider Naismiths to be an extension of our in-house team, whereby we can rely on a very high standard of quality whenever we receive a report or recommendation. Naismiths’ customer-centric approach aligns with our own; sensitive to the deal dynamics and continually going the extra mile to keep both us as the lender and our customer, the developer, satisfied and wanting to work together on future deals together. Overall, Naismiths seeks the best outcome for all parties but whilst maintaining a very high level of risk management which is at the core of Avamore’s ethos.
