First Complete appointed the buy-to-let specialist, made up of Paragon Mortgages for professional landlords and Mortgage Trust for smaller scale landlords, after seeing a surge in buy-to-let enquiries from borrowers.

Jon Round, chief executive of First Complete, said: “With buy-to-let applications reaching the highest levels seen in more than two years it makes sense to add a further specialist provider of buy-to-let mortgages on our panel, so our members can benefit from access to an even wider range of mortgages for their clients.”

Julian Rance, sales director of Paragon, said: “We are really pleased to be on the panel of one of the UK’s leading networks.”
