Rita Ahmed
Bath Street Dental Practice

Gillian Melrose has been invaluable in enabling a smooth transition in moving my banking provider. The refinance package has allowed me to continue to run my business well, with peace of mind, freeing up capital to improve cashflow and grow my businesses.

Peter Lowrie
Granite Edge Ltd

Gillian and her team were extremely helpful in sourcing alternative finance for me last year both for a portfolio of commercial properties in Scotland and also two residential properties in England. I was forced to refinance the properties at short notice and in a very difficult market for borrowers. Her knowledge of the lending market was invaluable and I really appreciated the support and assistance provided throughout the process including her recommendation of a great English lawyer who also helped to smooth the process.

Robert Paterson
Rojopa Limited

I was a bit of a novice at the property game and got so much advice that is was confusing. Gillian explained all the various options good and bad in simple terms and I trust the advice she imparts. You need to deal with people you trust in this industry and now Melrose Commercial handles all of my finance requirements.

Brian Barr
Creme Developments Limited
Mixed-Use Development - Senior Debt and Mezzanine Finance

Gillian was instrumental is assisting me with the most challenging of development proposals. After securing the senior debt I was then short of funding to complete the development. Gillian bridged the gap with a Mezzanine Loan facility with lenders that Gillian has a strong relationship with which really made a difference in getting the deal done. I trust her judgement 100% and would not hesitate in completing more developments with her expert view on the right partners and structures. I used to go into my own bank and not have to worry but I soon realised that without the right professional assistance I would not have got this project off the ground.

Joan Glen-Stuart
Holiday Letting Business, Isle of Arran

Gillian Melrose was a huge help in securing the loan when we refinanced our self catering development on the Isle of Arran from the Clydesdale Bank. She made an introduction to a good, old fashioned lender and guided us through their personal underwriting interview and process with tremendous expertise and courtesy. Although we have years of experience in self catering, this is a new venture. If it had not been for Gillian’s skill and contacts we would not have found anyone prepared to back us in such a difficult climate for a seasonal business like ours.
