Paradigm has announced the addition of new specialist buy-to-let mortgage lender, ModaMortgages, to its lender panel.

ModaMortgages distributes exclusively via intermediaries and was created by UK digital bank, Chetwood Bank. It generates its funding using retail deposits via Chetwood Bank and SmartSave.

Member firms of Paradigm now have access to ModaMortgages’ range of buy-to-let mortgages, offered to a variety of landlords including small or large portfolios, limited companies, individuals, first-time buyers and first-time landlords.

ModaMortgages also lends on both houses in multiple occupation (HMOs) and multi-unit freehold blocks (MUFBs).

ModaMortgages’ criteria includes the following:

• Top slicing providing more affordability options for landlord borrowers.
• Products available up to 75% LTV.
• No minimum income for loans less than £1m (excluding first-time buyers).
