Paradigm member firms will now be able to access CHL’s range of BTL mortgages for individuals and limited company borrowers, available for properties including houses, flats, shared accommodation, new-builds, houses in multiple occupation (HMOs) and multi-unit freehold blocks.

CHL Mortgages returned to lending in May this year and offers buy-to-let mortgage finance to landlords from first-timers to experienced portfolio players.

The lender will lend up to £1m per property with larger loans available upon referral, up to 75% loan-to-value (LTV), with portfolio lending up to £2.5m rising to £5m after 12 months with no maximum portfolio limits in the background.

Rental calculations begin from 125% for basic rate taxpayers and limited companies, with higher rate taxpayers at 145%. Its five-year fixed-rate products are offered with a rental calculation at payrate.

John Coffield, head of mortgages at Paradigm Mortgage Services, said: “Given CHL’s history and reputation as one of the longest-standing lenders in the UK buy-to-let market, it has been somewhat odd not to have them actively lending in recent years.

“However, we are very pleased to welcome them back with a new range of products and a hugely experienced team with whom I’m sure many Paradigm member firms will already be familiar with.

“There has perhaps never been such a competitive buy-to-let sector as we have now, and CHL’s return certainly adds a considerable amount to this.

“We’re looking forward to working with the CHL team again and re-introducing them to our firms.”

Ross Turrell, commercial director at CHL Mortgages, said: “Joining Paradigm is yet another important milestone in our return to the intermediary buy-to-let market and we are focused on providing a strong proposition with competitive pricing and broad criteria for their adviser members.

“Our relationship goes back many years and so it’s a pleasure to join forces again and we look forward to working with the team and reconnecting with their advisers.”
