Pipeline Arrangements

New Applications
We need fully packaged cases for the 4108 range in our offices by
close of business on Friday 24th October 2008. To
speed up processing of your cases you must ensure your packs meet
the minimum submission standards. Packs not meeting minimum
standards will be returned to you, this will also apply to any
existing unworked packs. Minimum pack requirements
are:
- Fully signed and completed Mortgage Application form
- Addendum form (where Generic Application forms are used)
- Copy of IDOL submission form and/or IDOL reference number
- Satisfactory Know Your Customer (KYC)
- Proof of last 12 months mortgage payment if not shown on IDOL
- Proof of Residency for last 12 months (if not on Voters Roll)
- Proof of income (if required)
- Credit search if IDOL decision is not required (i.e. semi
commercial case)

If cases are submitted to an onsite underwriter please be aware
of their availability on Friday 24th October 2008
ensuring that full packs are submitted either before or by this
deadline.
Pre-Offer
All cases that have been submitted on the 4108 range will need to
be offered by Friday 31st October 2008. If cases on the 4108
range are not offered by this date they will be subject to criteria,
rates and fees prevailing at the time, and will need to be
reassessed via IDOL if you want them to proceed.
Post-Offer All cases submitted on
the 4108 range or previous will be honoured on present terms,
however, if the offer period expires and customers still wish to
proceed with the loan, the reoffer will be subject to criteria,
rates and fees prevailing at the time.
There will be no exception to these rules

National Account Manager, Business Development Manager or the Sales
Liaison Team on 0845 610 6560.
We apologise for the short timelines in announcing these changes
and the disruption this may cause to your business. We hope you
appreciate that exceptional market conditions make these changes
necessary.
