Paradigm adds Harpenden large loan exclusives
Paradigm has launched a range of large loans from Harpenden Building Society for members of the network.
The loans are available for sums above £1m, and are fixed for two years.
Loans of up to 75 per cent loan to value (LTV) are on offer between £1m and £1.25m and come with a rate of 5.23 per cent, while loans of between £1.25m and £1.99m are available up to 70 per cent LTV and have the same interest rate.
There is also a two-year fixed rate at 5.63 per cent, which is available for loans of £2-2.5m and for up to 65 per cent LTV.
Arrangement fees range from £1,500 to £3,000.
Paradigm noted that for member firms who are not active in the large loan space, there is the option of referring the client onto another member firm that is.

Richard Howes, director of mortgages at Paradigm, said the firm had worked closely with Harpenden for some time, with the products coming at a significant discount from Harpenden deals on offer to the wider market.
He continued: “For advisory firms who are not active in this space, but who may be dealing with clients needing larger loans, we offer a quality referral process that will ensure borrowers have access to those firms who do offer this specialist service.
“Those who refer can ensure their clients are in the safest of hands, plus they also receive the referral income, not forgetting the benefits of being able to signpost clients to specialists – a big focus of the Consumer Duty rules.”
Andrew Foster, commercial manager at Harpenden Building Society, pointed out that the mutual specialises in working with clients with complex income streams and non-standard requirements.
