In the specialist buy to let mortgage world few names are as well known as that of Paragon’s John Heron, who is retiring as the firm’s managing director of mortgages.

He’s being succeeded by Richard Rowntree, who joins from the position of managing director of UK mortgages at the Bank of Ireland; he’ll now be responsible for Paragon’s lending activities across buy to let, second charge and residential mortgages.

And finally this week, some sad news from estate agency Farrell Heyworth; the firm’s much respected figure John ‘Shelly’ Shellcross (pictured centre) died last week.

Jeremy Collins, Farrell Heyworth director, says: “John loved and was proud to work in the property sector and was a massive part of creating Farrell Heyworth, having started as a branch manager in December 1995 and becoming a director in 2002.  John was known throughout the industry as a hardworking, honest, kind leader and friend, in John’s words we will ‘crack on’ as he would have wanted.”

That’s all for this week, but of course we’re back next Monday. Until then...
