Further to our recent communication confirming customers no longer need to sign a general declaration, we are pleased to confirm another step on our green journey by removing paper mortgage offers.

For any new offer produced from today, Monday 16th May, solicitors will receive a copy of the customers Mortgage Offer digitally through a system called Lender Exchange which is a portal that all the solicitors on our panel will have access to – this will mean they have immediate access to the offer and no longer have to rely on these documents being faxed, emailed or posted to them.

What does this mean to you?

Important – Customers will continue to be issued a paper copy of the offer, but as part of this change, you will no longer receive a paper copy. You will however, continue to be able to access the offer via the Document Store within our mortgage application systems.

Committed to going Green…

Barclays Green Home Mortgages

It’s now been over three years since Barclays became the first major UK mortgage lender to enter the green mortgage market with the popularity of these products demonstrating just how well they have been received by yourselves and your clients.

With a key focus on the impact of our financing, we are continuing to grow our product offering and social and environmental financing activity across the bank. For example, we recently confirmed that our Barclays Green Home Mortgage proposition had become even more accessible by launching Buy to Let products, so customers buying an energy efficient new build home to let can be rewarded with a lower rate on certain fixed rate products compared to our standard range.

These products were launched to complement our competitive Residential Green Home range and all are fully available to you now. Click here to Learn more
