Bell Ingram Strengthens AMC Finance Team with Appointment of New Valuer

Bell Ingram announces Catherine Lawson has been appointed as an Agricultural Mortgage Corporation (AMC) valuer, recognising her experience and expertise in valuing rural property.

AMC specialise in long-term mortgages and loans for farms and rural businesses for a wide range of business needs including: buying land, new buildings and fixed equipment, restructuring borrowing, paying out a retiring partner, diversification, renewable energy projects or sustainability improvements.

As agents, Bell Ingram’s valuers support clients through all stages of the process, from helping to complete the application form, to collating supporting documents and valuing the property used as security.

Catherine joins Bell Ingram’s James Petty, Malcolm Taylor and Sarah Tyson who are also AMC valuers alongside Isla Shaw who is an AMC introducer completing application forms and dealing with enquiries.

Sarah Tyson comments on the appointment: “It is great that our AMC team has been strengthened with Catherine’s approval as a full AMC valuer. This confirms Bell Ingram’s position as a leading AMC agent in Scotland. Across our team, we all deal with clients investigating AMC finance and the valuers take the job through to the final stage by valuing the security property.

“AMC continues to be a reliable long term source of finance for rural businesses. It is also able to consider transfers of loans to the next generation  – particularly important just now when considering forward planning and succession alongside IHT implications.

“For anyone needing finance including for land purchase, building improvements or diversification, it is always worth giving our team a call.”
