Paradigm member firms will now have access to HTB’s range of specialist funding solutions including complex specialist buy-to-let and residential bridging.

Lending across England and Wales, HTB’s buy-to-let range is available up to a maximum loan of £15m, up to 75% net  (loan-to-value) LTV (arrangement fees can be added to the loan), with no maximum age, no minimum income, and fixed rates available for both two- and five-year terms.

John Coffield, head of mortgages at Paradigm Mortgage Services, said: “HTB has been growing its lending presence in both the buy-to-let and bridging sectors in recent months, and its flexible approach and focus on looking at each case individually, is a real positive for our member firms and their clients.

“Active across England and Wales, with an enhanced range of product solutions, we are looking forward to working with the HTB team and introducing its products and service to our members.”

Scott Phillips, national account manager at Hampshire Trust Bank (HTB), added: “I’m delighted to be launching with Paradigm and look forward to working with the excellent Paradigm team again.

“We are aiming to support Paradigm’s ever-increasing base of specialist intermediaries. HTB has carefully expanded its reach to highly-qualified broker audiences, and our specialist proposition will have resonance with those seeking to deliver against complex lending challenges as well as more straightforward cases.”
