Specialist buy-to-let and portfolio lending from one of the UK's leading investment property lenders. HMO, limited company, and multi-unit products available.
Expert lending for property investors
Paragon has been at the forefront of UK buy-to-let lending for over 25 years. They understand the needs of property investors at every stage, from first-time landlords purchasing a single rental to experienced portfolio holders managing dozens of properties across multiple structures.
Through Doulton Bridging Finance, we access Paragon's complete product range including specialist options for HMOs, multi-unit blocks, and limited company purchases. If you are building or refinancing a property portfolio, Paragon's flexible criteria and experienced underwriting team make them a strong choice.
Benefits of Paragon mortgages
Buy-to-Let Specialists
Paragon is one of the UK's most established buy-to-let lenders, with decades of experience funding residential investment properties for individual and portfolio landlords.
Portfolio Landlord Lending
Dedicated products for landlords with four or more mortgaged properties, with streamlined assessment processes designed specifically for experienced property investors.
HMO and Multi-Unit
Paragon lends on houses in multiple occupation and multi-unit freehold blocks, property types that many mainstream lenders will not consider at all.
Limited Company Lending
Competitive products for properties held within SPV structures, recognising that many landlords now operate through limited companies for tax efficiency.
Top Slicing Available
Where rental income alone does not meet the interest coverage ratio, Paragon can consider your personal income to top up the shortfall, unlocking deals that would otherwise fail.
Experienced Underwriting
Paragon's underwriters specialise exclusively in investment property lending, bringing deep knowledge and a common-sense approach to every application.

Frequently asked questions
Can I get a Paragon mortgage through Doulton?
Yes. We hold broker agencies with Paragon where available and can access their intermediary product range. Where Paragon is not the right fit, we will benchmark their offer against every other lender on our panel and recommend the most cost-effective overall deal.
Why apply to Paragon via a broker rather than direct?
Most UK mortgage lenders reserve a portion of their range - often including their sharpest rates - for intermediary-introduced business. Going through a broker also means you are not locked to one lender's criteria: if Paragon cannot take your case, we can place it elsewhere without a declined application showing on your credit file.
What LTV and loan size does Paragon offer?
Paragon's maximum LTV and loan size vary by product and property type. We check current criteria at the point of enquiry - residential, buy-to-let, high-value and specialist ranges each have their own limits. Tell us your requirement and we will come back with exactly what Paragon can support today.
What if my application is complex - non-standard income, expat status, adverse credit?
Mainstream high-street lenders are rarely the right home for complex applications. We work with specialist, private and challenger banks alongside the names you will recognise, which means we can often place cases that would be rejected by a direct approach.
How long does a mortgage application take?
Typical timelines are 2-4 weeks from application to offer for straightforward cases, and 4-8 weeks for cases needing valuation, specialist underwriting or complex income review. Exchange and completion after that is driven by your conveyancer's pace.
