Pure Panel Management and Paragon Bank have announced entering into an agreement which will see Pure undertake property valuations in connection with the specialist lender’s buy-to-let proposition.

The partnership will offer Paragon access to Pure Panel Management’s wide body of surveyors.

Pure Panel Management is a family business which has extensive knowledge and experience of the services provided by the various business sectors within the UK valuation marketplace and currently has over 900 surveyors on panel.

James Gillam (pictured), managing director at Pure Panel Management, said: “Paragon Bank is a major player in the specialist lending circles and this represents a significant panel addition for the business and puts us in prime position to support the Paragon team in servicing the business it writes across the buy-to-let market.

“The key to our success over the years has been through the strength of the relationships forged with both our lender and broker clients and we look forward to swiftly building a close association with the Paragon team and in adding further value to their ongoing proposition.”

David Hitches, head of property risk at Paragon Bank, added: “Pure Panel Management is a well-run and highly respected business within the valuation space and this represents an important addition to our panel in terms of providing the lender and their landlord clients with independence, flexibility, customised service, years of experience and a track record for innovation and delivery.”
