Paradigm Mortgage Services has announced the appointment of Scottish Building Society to its lender panel.
Paradigm member firms now have access to the Society’s range of residential, entrepreneur, guarantor, and professional mortgages for both purchasers and remortgagors. It also offers Retirement Interest-Only (RIO) mortgages as well as products for self-build and custom-build, plus holiday let products.
Scottish Building Society offers a range of flexible underwriting with underwriters considering individual circumstances and complex cases that could be difficult to place.
Applications can be submitted by Scottish Building Society’s online application portal, SBS Online, with all cases allocated to an individual underwriter. There is also access to its Affordability Calculator plus support via the Society’s four BDMs.
Paradigm recently appointed Sarah Blackwood as its new senior relationship manager covering Scotland, Northern Ireland and the North East of England.
Richard Howes (pictured), director of mortgages at Paradigm Mortgage Services, said: “The Scottish mortgage and protection market is an increasingly important one for Paradigm and we are therefore pleased to be able to announce the addition of Scottish Building Society to our panel, in response to member feedback. It is active in a wide range of product and sector areas and its flexible approach to underwriting means it can look at individual circumstances rather than operating a tick-box approach.
“We believe there is much to interest advisers and their clients in the product range and proposition, and Paradigm will continue to work closely with our member firms in Scotland to add value to their businesses across a wide range of areas as well as identify new opportunities.
“With Sarah Blackwood having recently strengthened our presence in Scotland, Northern Ireland and the North East, we are excited about working with both existing and new contacts within these regions to help them secure the most from their membership.”
Stephen Brown, head of intermediaries at Scottish Building Society, added: “The Scottish Building Society is delighted to partner with Paradigm Mortgage Services. We are known for our personal approach to service and flexible underwriting and look forward to helping members of Paradigm over the coming weeks and months. We truly value the strong connections we have with our intermediary partners.
