CHL bolsters BDM team

CHL Mortgages, the intermediary-only specialist buy-to-let lender, has appointed Brian Sanford as a BDM for the East Midlands area.

Brian has worked within financial services for over 35 years, holding a variety of positions at lenders, insurance providers and packagers. He joins CHL from Sesame Bankhall Group where he was regional sales manager.

As a BDM, his approach centres around accessibility and trust. He prides himself on the strength of his relationships within the intermediary community, his extensive knowledge of the specialist lending markets and delivering strong service values.

CHL’s specialist buy-to-let product range is available to first-time landlords, portfolio landlords and limited companies covering a variety of BTL investment vehicles including HMOs and MUFBs.

After relaunching its proposition with a select panel of distributors in May 2021, CHL has since implemented a phased approach to enlarging its distribution channels to include many of the industry’s leading networks, mortgage clubs and intermediary brands.

Ross Turrell, commercial director at CHL Mortgages commented: “January has been a busy month, such is the continued demand being experienced across the specialist BTL market. The enthusiasm, dynamism and expertise of our BDM team is key to servicing this demand in the right way and in ensuring we are meeting the ever-changing needs of our distribution partners as best we possibly can.

“Brian knows the intermediary market inside and out. He will slot straight into our vastly experienced BDM team to help his broker base generate new and repeat business whilst offering them the expertise and confidence to place their faith in the CHL brand.”
