Paragon offers new customers its lowest rate for 18 months

Paragon Bank has launched some appealing offers on its two-year fixed rate buy to let mortgages and some deals include its lowest rate for 18 months and cuts of up to 35bps.

The specialist lender says its offers are available for portfolio and non-portfolio landlords.

They can apply through limited company structures or in personal name in England, Scotland and Wales.

‘Things do seem to be heading in the right direction’

Paragon’s commercial director, Louisa Sedgwick, said: “Although there is still work to do to stabilise the economy, things do seem to be heading in the right direction and the general feeling is that rates are coming down.

“This means that we’re seeing landlords seek the stability of a fixed rate but over the shorter two-year term so they can reassess the market in a couple of years’ time.”

She added: “We wanted to show some love to our landlord customers, so we’re offering our lowest rate on two-year fixes for new customers in over 18 months and have taken 35bps off our 3% fee two-year product too.”
