Landbay has appointed Richard McRoberts as business development manager for Kent and the South Coast.
McRoberts (pictured) will report to Rob Stanton, sales and distribution director at Landbay, and will provide sales support to brokers and advisory firms across the region.
He will work with brokers placing cases across Landbay’s buy-to-let product range, covering a broad range of borrower and property types.
McRoberts has more than 12 years’ experience across property and finance. He spent nine years working in sales and lettings across central London and the South East before moving into finance in 2022.
During the past four years, he has worked as a specialist buy-to-let broker at Mortgage Finance Brokers, handling cases including limited company structures, HMOs and MUFBs.
Landbay said McRoberts’ experience on the broker side would support advisers across Kent and the South Coast, particularly on more detailed or specialist buy-to-let cases.
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, business development manager at Landbay, said: “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.”
