What else do brokers need to know?
Please note that a full mortgage application must be submitted by the time of withdrawal to secure a new lending product. If brokers are yet to submit a DIP, they should do so as soon as possible as any referrals will only be looked at during normal office hours.
For Buy to Let applications, the product selected will impact the maximum loan Accord can offer. As a product cannot be selected at DIP stage, it is important that brokers use Accord’s rental calculator, which can be found here, as this allows them to input the details of the product required and provide a more accurate maximum lending amount. The actual maximum lending available will be determined at the point a Full Mortgage Application is submitted.
When is this change?
The current range will be withdrawn at 10pm on Wednesday 20 November and the new range will be available at 8am on Thursday 21 November.
