Sara Grech, an established and leading real estate company, has teamed up with HSBC to implement an initiative designed to simplify the process of buying a property. Customers searching for properties on Sara Grech’s website www.saragrech.com will now have the option to immediately establish the maximum amount of money they can borrow from HSBC to purchase their home. The loan amount, interest rate, time-frames and monthly repayments are provided to the customer instantaneously, while the HSBC website is only a click away for anyone requiring any further information.

Godfrey Swain, Head of Personal Financial Services at HSBC said: “HSBC’s Loan Calculator provides an instant and accurate information service to prospective clients who are increasingly using the internet for both personal and commercial purposes. We are delighted to be able to work with established real estate companies such as Sarah Grech, to assist our mutual clients.”

Asked how the Chairperson Sara Grech came up with the idea, she was prompt to reply that the reasons were two-fold. Most people find it difficult to find the time to go personally and discuss their requirements with the bank and once the web site is made up of so many potential and interesting properties for purchase, the concept of being able to know instantly what you can borrow for each property seemed exciting.

Another reason was to help customers avoid unnecessary delays and resultant disappointment. The importance of wanting to provide the customer with first hand and quick information made this concept all the more viable. What more would anyone want from a property site?
