The company said Ms Hologa’s mixture of skills from both her background in banking and having worked as an independent mortgage adviser made her the ideal candidate to join the team and enable it to assist more clients with their mortgage and protection needs.

Last year saw Munro & Noble’s financial services business grow significantly, with a wide spread of clients, from first time buyers, re-mortgages, buy to lets and commercial lending.

These included some substantial transactions for cases which required bespoke advice and underwriting – the feedback we received from clients and other advisers is that we are now seen as the ‘go-to’ office for these types of scenarios.

The company said that with the launch of its new First Home Fund just before Christmas, the timing was ideal for us to have Ms Hologa join the team.

Mary Nimmo, partner, said: “Munro and Noble are reporting increased demand in 2020 for our financial services advice, and as such we are delighted to announce the expansion of the Munro & Noble Financial Team. Joining Hamish and Dawn, Aneta is a welcome addition, given her knowledge and experience.

“The firm will continue to invest in the MNFS team expansion, allowing us to adapt according to the needs of our clients while providing an excellent level of service and continue to enhance the lending options being provided to our clients.”
