Foundation hires regional account manager for the south

Specialist lender Foundation Home Loans has announced the appointment of Peter Olasoji (pictured) as new regional account manager for its buy-to-let brand in the south region.

Olasoji, who has over a decade of experience in finance, including six years in property finance, previously worked as a business development manager at LendInvest and Market Financial Solutions, managing relationships across London, Essex, and the south of England.

At Foundation, Olasoji will focus on building and maintaining relationships with advisers. His role also involves helping firms optimise their buy-to-let advice offerings and promoting the wide range of products available through the lender. He will work alongside existing regional account manager Jack Gerasimov and will cover several postcode areas, including BR, CR, CT, DA, E, IG, ME, RM, SE, and SS.

The Buy to Let by Foundation brand offers a variety of mortgage products for limited company, individual, portfolio, and non-portfolio landlords. The lender’s product range includes EPC Saver, Green, Remortgage-only, Large Portfolio, Large Loan, and specialist property mortgages such as short-term and holiday lets. Earlier this week, Foundation announced a reprice of its full product range, with reductions of up to 30 basis points across its core buy-to-let products.

“Part of the strength of Buy to Let by Foundation is the experience and quality of our sales team, the knowledge they can impart, and the support they can give to advisory firms,” said Grant Hendry, director of sales at Foundation Home Loans. “It’s why we always look for experienced, focused and dedicated individuals to join us.

“We’re therefore very pleased to be able to welcome Peter to Foundation. He brings with him an understanding of this sector plus already well-established relationships with large numbers of advisers in the area. We’re sure he’s going to make a real positive impact for us as a lender and for all those advisers he will work with.”

Commenting on his appointment, Olasoji said he was excited to be joining Foundation, citing its “excellent buy-to-let product proposition.”

“The specialist needs of both advisers and their landlord borrower clients continue to grow, and as a lender, Foundation is reacting to this and ensuring there are a growing number of competitively priced options available,” he added.

“I’ve spent the last six years working in this space and am looking forward to growing both new and existing adviser relationships to ensure they can provide positive outcomes for their landlord borrower clients.”
