Landbay appoints BDM for Kent and the South Coast

Buy-to-let lender, Landbay, has appointed Richard McRoberts as its new business development manager for Kent and the South Coast.

Richard will provide full sales support to brokers and advisory firms across the region. He brings over 12 years’ experience across the property and finance sectors to the role, having spent nine years working in sales and lettings across central London and the South East before moving into finance in 2022. 

In the last four years he has worked as a specialist buy-to-let broker at Mortgage Finance Brokers, placing cases covering a range of cases including limited company structures, HMOs and MUFBs.

Rob Stanton, sales and distribution director at Landbay, said: “Richard brings a strong combination of property market knowledge and practical buy-to-let experience, having worked both in estate and lettings agency and, more recently, as a specialist broker.

“That background means he understands the pressures brokers face when trying to place cases, particularly where landlords have more complex borrowing structures or property types. His appointment gives brokers across Kent and the South Coast a dedicated BDM who can discuss cases properly and help them find practical solutions.”

Richard McRoberts commented: “Landbay has built a fantastic reputation in the buy-to-let space, and I’m very excited to be joining such a forward-thinking and high-performing team. Having worked as a broker myself, I understand how important proactive, reliable BDM support can be when brokers are trying to place cases. I’m looking forward to getting out, building relationships, and helping firms find the best solutions for their landlord clients.”
