Announcement
Extended support for furlough income for cases submitted from Thursday 5th November
We’ll accept applications with furlough income up to, and including, 80% LTV.
Furlough income will be capped at 80% and £2,500 per month. The sustainability of this income will be assessed by an underwriter on a case by case basis and will depend on your customer’s individual circumstances.
Please note:
- You must input furlough income (which has been capped at 80%) into Mortgage Hub to receive a correct DIP.
- The future changes button must be marked as “yes” and the word “furlough” should be added into the changes list.
- Pipeline cases will be honoured subject to no material changes to the case. Please advise us if your customer’s circumstances change.
Changes to self-employed criteria
- Income must be sustainable with evidence of current trading through 3 months business bank statements – document request will be automated through the Mortgage Hub journey.
Cases with 3 or 4 applicants
- Please use Mortgage Hub to progress all applications as paper DIPs and applications will no longer be accepted.
