Paragon began life as a specialist residential mortgage lender in 1985. A pioneer in buy-to-let lending, in 1995 we launched our first mortgage products for UK landlords in the growing Private Rented Sector achieving a 10% share in the buy-to-let market by 2006. In 2014, we began a strategic transformation from a monoline lender to a diversified, specialist bank and we continue on this path today.
