Lending
We are a buy-to-let specialist lender to landlord customers through our Paragon Mortgages and Mortgage Trust brands.
In 1995, we were the first lender to work with the private rented sector to develop the buy-to-let market and, in 2000, we became the only major UK mortgage lender to focus exclusively on buy-to-let products.
Our consumer finance lending included car finance, secured and unsecured personal loans; and our current focus is on acquiring consumer loan portfolios.
