Later life lender Standard Life Home Finance has appointed Phil Quinn, formerly of Bluestone Mortgages, as its head of sales.

In his new role at Standard Life Home Finance, he will represent the brand in the intermediary market, create new relationships and strengthen existing ones with advisers in the later life lending sector.

He will also be involved in driving awareness and education around later life lending.

Quinn was most recently national account manager at Bluestone Mortgages for around two years. Before that, he was the head of intermediary sales at LiveMore Capital for nearly a year.

He was also the head of national accounts at Together for over two years and spent more than two years at Pepper Money, initially as a regional development manager and then as national account manager.

Quinn said: “This is an exciting time to be joining such a forward-thinking later life lender. Given the ageing population in the UK and the expectations of the regulators, specialist later life lending will play a much bigger role in the advice process in the years ahead.

“This is especially true in light of the impact making repayments can have on the eventual cost of a lifetime mortgage. Later life lending products are solutions that all advisers, whether mainstream or specialist later life advisers, should be considering as standard for their clients.”

He continued: “Standard Life Home Finance is well known for its innovative approach, providing creative solutions that meet the needs of later life customers. The recent move to increase the maximum loan to values (LTVs) available on the Horizon range to 51%, and the criteria enhancements that open up the products to a broader range of customers, are great examples of how we are proactively adapting to ensure that it can support more older homeowners to unlock their equity and deliver an even better experience.

“Standard Life Home Finance is committed to bringing specialist later life products to more people, and I share this passion and look forward to working closely with advisers to help them grow their businesses while delivering excellent outcomes to their clients.”

Earlier this year, the firm increased the maximum LTV in its Horizon lifetime mortgage range.
