Paradigm appoints Stafford Railway Building Society to lender panel

Paradigm Mortgage Services has announced the appointment of Stafford Railway Building Society to its lender panel.

The mortgage services proposition’s member firms will now have access to the society’s range of residential, buy-to-let (BTL), holiday let and specialist lending products.

Stafford Railway’s mortgages are also available for those with complex income situations, such as unusual or rural property types.

Paradigm members will be able to utilise the society’s intermediary team for support as well as access its online mortgage hub, allowing them to submit mortgage applications and also upload supporting documentation.

“As we often find, it is the building society sector which continues to lead the way in a number of areas particularly their ability to review cases individually, and to find ways to say yes,” Paradigm director of mortgages, Richard Howes, commented.

“Stafford Railway certainly fit this bill, and with a wide product range which covers a large number of borrower demographics, we’re sure Paradigm firms will find much to interest both them and their clients.

“Lending in England and Wales, and with a focus on delivering a quality service, the society has a strong intermediary focus, plus the support levels to back this up. We’re looking forward to working with the team at the Stafford Railway and introducing our member firms to its excellent mortgage proposition.”

Head of product strategy and communications at Stafford Railway, Rob Hassall, added: “With our flexible and solutions-based approach to lending we’re proud to be adding our expertise to the Paradigm panel and offering support to their member firms.

“Our sales and underwriting teams not only work closely, they sit alongside each other, improving the communication, speed of decision making and overall mortgage proposition. The society is very much committed to growing and expanding its intermediary proposition with key, valued relationships; our partnership with Paradigm continues this journey.”
