Mortgage valuations veteran Richard Sexton (pictured) has joined proptech surveying portal, HouzeCheck, as its commercial director.
He joins from e.surv and will report to Amit Bansal, CEO of HouzeCheck.
Sexton’s career began in sales, and he played a key role in the management buyout of General Accident Property Services, which evolved into LSL Property Services PLC.
At LSL, he held various management roles focusing on business to business (B2B) business development and relationship management.
Until recently, Sexton was the longest-serving board member at e.surv, LSL’s surveying and property valuation segment.
Sexton said: “HouzeCheck already has a modest presence among mortgage brokers, conveyancers, and estate agents – who can earn a passive income by introducing HouzeCheck to property buyers.
“I’m here to develop these channels across England and in Wales and accelerate the reputational growth of the brand.
“As part of that, I want to position HouzeCheck not only as a leader in residential property surveys but also as the champion of all property transaction professionals, supporting them as they look to grow their revenues.”
He added: “Given HouzeCheck’s cutting-edge technology helps us to deliver a faster service to our customer – our average report time is three days – we should be helping to drive transactions forward, too: buyers who have commissioned a survey from us are less likely to pull out once they have sunk that cost and use the report to negotiate as needed to conclude the transaction with increased certainty.”
Bansal said: “At HouzeCheck, our leadership is the cornerstone of our success, and our senior management team brings together strategic vision and a passion for excellence.
“Alongside Paul, Richard brings a wealth of industry experience to the business, and I am confident he will help drive our vision forward and shape the future of HouzeCheck.”
