Important update – Offer extensions for all purchase cases impacted by COVID-19

Please be advised that we will shortly be closing the interim offer extension process we introduced to support customers experiencing a delay in completion, as a result of COVID 19.

Friday 18th June, 2021 will be the final day where your client(s) who have exchanged contracts on a property purchase and whose current offer either expired after 26 March 2020 or will expire within the next 30 days, to apply for an offer extension.

Your clients purchasing a New Build property will continue to be able to secure an extended offer through our New Build offer extension process. However, for all other purchases a new application would need to be submitted on a product available at the time of resubmission, and will be subject to re-assessment.

Additionally, on Friday 18th June, we will also be removing our change of circumstances form for customers who have an open mortgage offer from Barclays and needed to let us know about any changes since their initial application. If your customer has a change in their circumstances after this date, you need to let us know in the usual way.

Note – customers impacted by the pandemic will still be able to get information on the support available to them by visiting our Coronavirus mortgage help page
