Neil Weston will be heading up the newly formed Scout Financial Services.
Estate agent Yopa has launched Scout Financial Services - its in-house mortgage proposition.
Neil Weston will head up Scout which already has four brokers onboarded. The plan is to have that number up to 10 by the end of Q1 2020.
Weston said: “With Scout we’re offering a one-off lifetime fee, meaning we can support our customers through every stage of their financial lives.
"As well as mortgages, our brokers are able to offer additional services such as Life Insurance, Critical Illness Cover and Income Protection.
"This is an exciting time for Yopa as we venture into the financial services space and look for new ways to improve customer experience."
The brokers will be based in Yopa’s contact centres in Watford and Hinckley.
