Great news! We’ve simplified our full mortgage application (FMA) process in Introducer Internet to help improve our service and reduce your client’s time to offer.
- Removed some of the questions we ask you in the residential FMA including our eligibility policy check questions to help reduce the time it takes to complete.
- Tailored our evidence requirements outputs to provide further guidance and reduce the amount of information we need post-submission.
- Added a new warning message to let you know when a product you’ve selected has been withdrawn.
Please note you’ll still be able to find our eligibility questions in the residential lending guide for information purposes only.
Residential self-employed applications
You’ll now be asked in Introducer Internet whether your client’s business or income was adversely affected by Covid-19?
We’ll consider your client as adversely affected where any of the below apply:
- A business which is not currently trading or has been re-opened for less than three months.
- Where the business has taken an SEISS, JRS grant (for limited companies) or Bounce-back, BBIL or CBIL loans in the 12 months prior to the date of application.
- Staff have previously been furloughed due to business trading conditions in the 12 months prior to the date of application.
We’ve updated our self-employed webpage and our self-employed packaging guide.
Where your client’s business or income has been adversely affected by Covid-19, please call us before case submission so we can discuss our case packaging requirements
