conveybuddy has appointed Chris Smith (pictured) as regional director covering London and the South East.
Smith brings significant mortgage and financial services experience to the role, having previously worked within the intermediary mortgage market at lenders, Platform and The Co-operative Bank.
He also previously worked alongside conveybuddy CEO, Harpal Singh, at mortgage packager, Optoma.
His appointment forms part of conveybuddy’s continued investment in its adviser-facing team.
In his new role, Smith will work directly with advisory firms across London and the South East, helping advisers understand the range of conveyancing options available to their clients.
Harpal Singh, CEO at conveybuddy, said: “We’re very pleased to welcome Chris to conveybuddy, particularly as I know first-hand the experience, skillset and knowledge he brings.
“Chris has spent a significant part of his career working with mortgage advisers and understands what they expect from the businesses they choose to work with.
“That experience will be hugely important as we continue increasing our presence across London and the South East and support more advisers who want to become involved in the conveyancing part of their clients’ transactions.
“We’ve grown significantly since launching conveybuddy two years ago, but one thing that has become increasingly clear during that time is that technology alone is never enough.
“Advisers still want access to experienced people who can help them understand which conveyancing firm might be right for a particular case, provide insight into current service levels and step in when additional support is required.
“Chris’s appointment strengthens that personal support alongside the technology and integrations we continue to develop, and gives firms across London and the South East another experienced point of contact within the conveybuddy team.”
Smith said: “I’m delighted to be joining conveybuddy at an exciting stage in its development and to have the opportunity to work with Harpal again.
“Having worked across the intermediary mortgage market for many years, I understand how important it is for advisers to work with businesses that can provide the right combination of technology, service and personal support.
“Conveyancing is an important part of the client’s experience, and advisers increasingly want to remain closer to that process rather than simply handing the client over and hoping everything progresses as expected.
“I’m looking forward to getting out and meeting firms across London and the South East, supporting existing conveybuddy users and introducing more firms to the platform.
“There is a real opportunity for advisers to provide their clients with greater support around conveyancing while also adding another valuable income stream to their businesses.”
