Important changes to our mortgage application process

Changes to our application process

We’re updating our application process, so we can make quicker lending decisions for you.

We know it’s been taking us too long to progress cases recently and we need to fix this.
By working together we can make changes which will benefit you and your clients.

One of the main reasons we’ve found is the volume of cases reaching our underwriters that aren’t ready to progress due to missing information.

From 1 July, our underwriters will only review applications that are
fully packaged to our minimum standards.


Our new larger BDM team will review each case once all documents have been uploaded to the portal. If they’re confident everything has been supplied to our minimum standards, they’ll send the
case to be assessed by an underwriter.
 
Remember, we give you 30 days once your DIP is accepted to gather the documents to submit.
These documents will only be reviewed by an underwriter once you’ve uploaded them all to the portal and if they meet the minimum standards.

Submitted cases with missing, incorrect or out of date documents 
won’t be reviewed by an underwriter and will expire.


You’ll find information on our minimum packaging standards below and if you have any questions, please get in touch with your telephony BDM team.
