"As borrower demand changes, the need for brokers to focus on ‘advice rich’ areas, such as new build, buy-to-let, specialist and later life lending grows."
The broker team includes key relationship managers Paul Hopton, Clare Beardmore, Adam Sheldon and Zara Bray, as well as telephone account manager Louise Turton.
Paul Hopton, who has worked at L&G Mortgage Club for four years, will be responsible for the club’s later life lending proposition.
Clare Beardmore and Adam Sheldon, who both joined from Leek United Building Society, will focus on new build and buy-to-let.
Zara Bray joined from Legal & General’s wealth management division and will be responsible for specialist lending.
Louise Turton will also work closely with the team, assisting with broker insight and the broader proposition development.
Craig Hall, head of broker relationships and propositions at Legal & General Mortgage Club, commented: “As borrower demand changes, the need for brokers to focus on ‘advice rich’ areas, such as new build, buy-to-let, specialist and later life lending grows. We are continually looking to support advisers wanting to operate in these areas and the completion of this team will ultimately help us achieve this.
“The team’s combined experience of the industry will play a crucial role in further developing relationships with our key partners as we look to expand and diversify as a mortgage club. We’re dedicated to investing heavily in our people and the education of our members and we believe the creation of this team is testament to that.”
