Paragon: ‘Landlords more active in the market’
Louisa Sedgwick, commercial director at Paragon Bank, said: “We recently reduced rates on some of our core five-year fixes, a move that has been well received by the market.
“We are certainly seeing landlords becoming increasingly more active in the market, for both purchase and remortgage, there is undoubtedly an incredibly strong demand for good quality rented homes.”
She added: “We’re constantly monitoring the market and with swaps rates moving in the right direction, reflecting an improving economic outlook, we’re able to again improve our product range.
“With products for both portfolio and non-portfolio landlords and flat and percentage fee options, we’re aiming to support more landlords with more choice, to invest in the private rented sector.”
