Legal & General Insurance appointed to Pink panel

Pink and BDS advisers will be able to access home and buy-to-let insurance, as well as Mortgage Payment Protection Insurance for their clients.

Phil Kennedy, business development director for Legal & General’s general insurance, said: “We’re very pleased to be appointed by Pink Home Loans and BDS Mortgage Group as this significantly expands our distribution reach in the intermediary channel.

“We hope that mortgage advisers will see general insurance as a valuable alternative revenue stream and the opportunity to provide their clients with a more complete service. Selling this type of insurance alongside a mortgage is a natural next step.”

Neil Hoare, sales and marketing director at Pink Home Loans, said: “General Insurance has become an incredibly important source of recurring income to intermediaries.

"The addition of Legal & General to our panel, a brand that brings with it high service levels both in customer service and claims handling, will help our customers deliver solutions for their clients and bring them additional income.

“In today’s market, brokers must explore all opportunities to both meet their client’s needs and embed real long term value in their business.”
