John Coffield, head of Paradigm Mortgage Services, said: “Recently we have seen the mutual sector step up to the plate in terms of offering its products to a wider range of intermediaries and advisers.
“Bath certainly fit that mould and has a unique range of products that we believe will appeal to both our members and their clients. In particular, Bath has been one of the lenders to specifically deliver a product which will help first-time buyers onto the property ladder, with its Parental Assisted Mortgage Scheme.
“This type of innovation is to be applauded and we are therefore pleased to welcome them onto both the Paradigm Mortgage Services and the PFA lender panel. Members who are interested in the Bath mortgage proposition can find more information on the Paradigm websites.”
Steve Matthews, head of lending at Bath, said: “We are a small local building society that lends throughout England and Wales. We pride ourselves on creating niche products to meet our customers’ requirements.
“We have an experienced team who are used to providing an individual service where we make the decisions not our computers.”
