Deconfinement and real estate credit: La Centrale de Financement returns to the record levels of 2019

Throughout 2020, La Centrale de Financement has been able to adapt and adjust its support solutions, according to the evolution of the context of the health crisis, in order to maintain the rhythm of its activities. Relatively little impacted by the crisis, the volume of business handled by the broker, over the whole of 2020 has only decreased by 11% compared to 2019.

“And with this new deconfinement, more optimistic than the previous ones, the meetings keep increasing… This gives new impetus to the mortgage market. We are already seeing that the volume of file assemblies and the financial forecast are back to the record levels of 2019! The evolution of long rates will also help the banking world to reaffirm that the mortgage remains the ideal vector of conquest to capture market share, and allow brokers to remain at the heart of this dynamic! " explains SylvainLefèvre, president of La Centrale de Financement.

Loan conditions are still as favorable today; the recent increase in mortgage rates remains contained and only slightly restricts the purchasing power of French households, more and more inclined to look to new projects and horizons.

In this context, La Centrale de Financement is capitalizing on a rapid return to normalcy with the ambition of:

• pursue its development and network the territory to reach the 200 branch mark by the end of 2021, based on an external growth strategy and increasing its market share
• strengthen its digital positioning, through numerous recruitments in this area, to gain visibility on the web

“The year 2021 will undoubtedly be a year of transition to prepare for 2022 and continue to deploy on the mortgage market! " concludes SylvainLefèvre, president of La Centrale de Financement.
