Paradigm, a leading provider of mortgage, protection, and compliance services, has today (5th January 2026) released a set of three Special Edition Mortgage Market videos as a part of its Paradigm Insights series.
The new series of short videos covers interviews with senior personnel at three lenders and reveals their thoughts and insights on what’s to come in 2026.
For this set of videos, Paradigm’s Director of Mortgages, Richard Howes, welcomes Francesco Di Pietro, Head of Intermediary Mortgages at Newcastle Building Society; Rachael Hunnisett, Director of Mortgage Distribution at April Mortgages; and Nadine Edwards, Head of NatWest Intermediary Distribution.
Each interview covers the guests’ opinions and perspectives on how the intermediary mortgage market is likely to evolve as the first quarter of 2026 progresses, as well as views on what trends and challenges will shape the industry over the year.

All Insight videos can be recorded as unstructured CPD learning for advisers. Paradigm also has a wide range of additional CPD activities in a number of different formats via its free-to-use CPD Academy.
Richard Howes, Director of Mortgages at Paradigm Mortgage Services, commented:
“As 2026 begins and we start to progress through this first quarter, it’s important to review what are likely to be the key themes and emerging opportunities for advisers. Which is why we find so much value in speaking to senior industry figures at lenders in order to get their views on how the market is likely to develop and what that means for member firms.
“These short Special Edition Insight videos do just that, with the aim being to look forward rather than looking back. I hope they will assist our member firms in helping their existing and new clients secure the solutions they need, plus potentially revealing the products, services and sectors which they could benefit from as the year progresses.
“These videos form part of our ongoing commitment to supporting advisers and our members throughout the year, and we will continue to add further Insight and CPD content to ensure they remain fully up to date and well-prepared for the market ahead.”
