Paradigm adds Stafford Railway Building Society to panel

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

Paradigm member firms will now have access to the building society’s range of residential, buy-to-let, including holiday lets, as well as specialist lending products with mortgages available for those with complex income situations and unusual property types.

Stafford Railway has been offering mortgages for over 140 years in both England and Wales, underwriting each case individually and not relying on credit scores to approve mortgage applications.

Paradigm members will be able to utilise the building society’s specific intermediary team for support and access its Mortgage Hub online allowing them to submit mortgage applications through it, as well as uploading 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’,” Richard Howes, director of mortgages at Paradigm Mortgage Services, 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. We’re looking forward to working with the team at the Stafford Railway and introducing our member firms to its excellent mortgage proposition.”

Rob Hassall, head of product strategy and communications at Stafford Railway Building Society, said that with a flexible and solutions-based approach to lending, they are proud to be adding this expertise to the Paradigm panel and offering support to its 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,” Hassall added.
