The Mortgage Lender has expanded its onsite underwriting team with the appointment of Diane McLoughlin as regional underwriter for the South East based at the Buy to Let Business.

McLoughlin (pictured) is The Mortgage Lender’s second onsite underwriter appointment.

She will be able to discuss cases with brokers and make an instant decision, speeding up the underwriting process and time to offer.

She joins from Capital Home Loans where she has been operations manager for the last two and a half years. Prior to that she was with Kensington Mortgages and brings more than 25 years’ experience to the role.

Peter Beaumont, The Mortgage Lender’s deputy chief executive, said: “Diane brings a huge amount of experience to the role and her appointment underlines our commitment to working more closely with our partners and making it easier for brokers to find a borrowing solution for their customers.

“I know Diane will fit in well with the team at the Buy to Let Business and do a great job.”

McLoughlin added: “I wanted to get back into lending, saw the team was expanding and the new brand and approached TML about a role. The brand is fantastic, it’s bright, colourful and happening.

“I get real life lending and I’m looking forward to helping the Buy to Let Business by being onsite, quick to respond and thinking outside the box on underwriting.”
