Service is very important to us as a lender.  Once you’ve sent your clients application to Santander for Intermediaries here are a few tips we find can really help speed up the application process.

  1. Enter the approved solicitor details in the application as it’s the most common reason for delays
  2. For capital raising give full details of the use of funds in Introducer Internet > Regulation > General Notes
  3. Check the mortgage product code is valid and still available
  4. Declare if anyone over aged 17 will be living in the property at completion who is not named on the mortgage
  5. Double check that credit/debit card payment details are submitted and validated to cover any valuation and/or booking fees.
  6. Remember to provide an affordability disclaimer in Introducer Internet > Regulation > General Notes to confirm that the mortgage will remain affordable when Child Benefit and/or Child Tax Credit ends
  7. Applications from foreign nationals over 75% LTV must be supported by evidence of the permanent right to remain in the UK
  8. Submit the right to buy/acquire papers immediately via the Mortgage Application Tracking System following submission of the mortgage application.
