Paragon Mortgages has made changes to its lending criteria for limited company landlords.

The follows recent government announcements regarding tax relief changes.

The specialist buy-to-let mortgage provider has removed the exclusivity borrowing restriction for limited company landlords, which Paragon says means they can make best use of holding their properties in a corporate structure.

John Heron, director of mortgages at Paragon, said: “We know from our latest research there are an increasing number of landlords looking into whether to incorporate, some 41% were at least considering whether to do this in Q4 last year. Therefore, we have updated our criteria to allow limited company landlords to have borrowings elsewhere too.

“This demonstrates our continued commitment to working with our landlord customers to understand their bespoke requirements and also adapt as the market changes.”
