John Cox
John Cox brings decades of experience in financial services, specializing in portfolio building for investors. He established Mortgage-Desk in 1998, earning recognition as one of Bank of Scotland’s “100 club” introducers before the credit crunch.
In 2004, John specifically helped clients purchase property portfolios, with one client acquiring over 88 properties in a single year. He often got involved in many of the strategies employed at the time, including purchase and remortgage. The areas he was active in were the North East and Scotland, along with facilitating purchases of off-market new builds in London.
By June 2010, John had helped clients purchase over 120 properties in Scotland and acquired some stock for himself as well. His expertise lies in securing comprehensive insurance contracts, financing for individuals and businesses, and facilitating property transactions. One of the main areas John likes helping is ensuring that clients refrain from chasing shiny pennies or being motivated buyers; he often scrutinizes deals for their validity.
John believes that we are heading into another phase where buyers and investors need to take stock of what they are buying and ensure that all the information they are being presented with stacks up.
