Paradigm outlines lender thinking for 2026 in special edition insight videos

Published on

Paradigm has released a new set of short videos examining how senior lenders expect the intermediary mortgage market to develop through 2026.

The distributor has published three Special Edition Mortgage Market videos as part of its ongoing Paradigm Insights series, featuring interviews with senior figures from across the lending market.

The videos see Richard Howes, director of mortgages at Paradigm Mortgage Services, in conversation with Francesco Di Pietro, head of intermediary mortgages at Newcastle Building Society; Rachael Hunnisett, director of mortgage distribution at April Mortgages; and Nadine Edwards, head of NatWest intermediary distribution.

Each discussion explores how the intermediary market is expected to evolve as the first quarter of 2026 progresses, alongside the trends and challenges that are likely to shape lending activity over the remainder of the year.

The videos are available to view via Paradigm’s website and can be recorded by advisers as unstructured CPD learning. They also sit alongside a wider range of CPD content available through Paradigm’s free-to-use CPD Academy.

Howes said: “As 2026 begins and we start to progress through this first quarter, it’s important to review what are likely to be the key themes and emerging opportunities for advisers.

“Which is why we find so much value in speaking to senior industry figures at lenders in order to get their views on how the market is likely to develop and what that means for member firms.

“These short Special Edition Insight videos do just that, with the aim being to look forward rather than looking back.

“I hope they will assist our member firms in helping their existing and new clients secure the solutions they need, plus potentially revealing the products, services and sectors which they could benefit from as the year progresses.

“These videos form part of our ongoing commitment to supporting advisers and our members throughout the year, and we will continue to add further Insight and CPD content to ensure they remain fully up to date and well-prepared for the market ahead.”
