We’ve made some changes to our residential and commercial mortgage application process.
These changes will help us improve the way we review and process applications, so we can make quicker and better informed decisions for you and your clients.
When you submit a new application, we’ll now ask you to upload the documents we need to the portal at this new pre-full mortgage application (FMA) stage.
It’s really important that nothing is missed, as we won't start assessing your case until we have everything asked for on the checklist.
Applications will stay open for 7 working days, giving you time to upload the documents. If we receive an application without all requested documents or after the 7 day deadline, the case will be closed and you'll need to resubmit the application.
When we have everything we need, the status of your application will change to 'FMA Submitted' and will be in our pipeline to be reviewed by an underwriter.
We'll let you know if there's any further documentation we need once we've reviewed your case.
We can also now give portal access to your admin assistants, to help in uploading documentation. All you need to do is complete our admin request form and send it back to us, we’ll then complete all necessary checks and set up access.

We’ve created a short video to help explain the changes in detail and updated our submission guidelines for residential and buy to let applications.

It’s still a challenging time for all of us but the good news is that the mortgage market is starting to show signs of recovery. Over the last few months we’ve been focusing on helping our most in need customers. Now that we’re seeing more of a demand for new business across our mortgage range, it’s having an impact on the service that we’re able to offer you right now. To help make the application process run smoothly for residential and buy to let mortgages, we've provided some guidance below.

Packaging a case

To speed up our ability to issue a mortgage offer to your client, you’ll need to upload all required documentation straightaway so the underwriter can review this as part of the application assessment.

If there are outstanding checklist items, this is likely to result in further delay and it is essential that you supply these prior to the valuation report date.

Specialist buy to let applications submitted through the Commercial portal will not be passed to an underwriter unless they meet all of our submission requirements.

Read submission guides.

  Applications

We’re assessing applications and all other documentation within 8 working days if we have everything we need from you. You can check the status of your case in the broker portal at any time. 

Valuations         

Physical valuations have now re-commenced across England, Scotland and Wales where they meet the strict safety requirements.

It’s taking longer than normal to get hold of your client or agent to book in a valuation.

As soon as the valuation assessment is back, we’ll be touch with you to discuss the outcome of the report.

Getting in touch

Our broker enquiry line is really busy with wait times up to an hour. If you are able to avoid our busiest periods between 12pm and 2pm and after 5pm daily, you shouldn't need to wait as long. You can also email us at mortgage.sales@aldermore.co.uk and we'll get back to you within 24 hours. 

For more information please read our Broker Q&As.

We wanted to share some of the latest improvements we've made to our commercial portal. For the types of business you can submit via our commercial portal view our buy to let and commercial guides.
 
These improvements should make it easier for you to do business with us.

• We’ve increased the number of properties that can be keyed on a single application from 16 to 30 - saving you admin time and letting us process it more quickly.
• Our commercial portal will now capture mortgage terms in years and months - making it easier for you when processing applications.
• For buy to let properties valued up to £1m, we'll now be collecting a valuation fee at the same time as you submit an application. This does not apply to commercial loans.

If you have any further questions, please get in touch with your local contact who’d be happy to help.

 Following Government instruction in March, all physical mortgage valuations were put on hold.

Now with updated Government guidance, we’re able to resume physical mortgage valuations for properties where social distancing can be maintained. Physical mortgage valuations in England can now be booked for residential properties which meet the safety requirements. 

The safety of surveyors and occupants must be maintained at all times and there are clear guidelines on how to carry out safe valuations. If these safety standards are not met, the valuation will be stopped and cancelled. Customers will not be refunded if the valuer has started their inspection.

Valuation booking process:

• Upon our surveyors making contact, a series of questions and checks will be undertaken during the booking process to ensure the property and occupants are suitable
• If any occupant is unwell, shielding, vulnerable or not happy to adhere to social distancing requirements the valuation will not be booked

Surveyor requirements:

Upon arrival, the surveyor will need to complete a number of checks to ensure social distancing can be maintained before they go ahead with the valuation.

The occupiers will be asked to:

• Open all internal doors pre inspection
• Maximise property ventilation during inspection
• Control or remove pets
• Adhere to a mutual 2 metres social distancing

Unacceptable properties:

• Physical mortgage valuations are still not currently possible in Scotland and Wales due to social distancing restrictions
• Properties where the occupants refuse to adhere to social distancing requirements

For more information on these mortgage valuation changes, please click here 
 
For full details on our current mortgage range, see our residential guide.

This applies to only England at the moment, we'll update you on any changes to valuations in Scotland and Wales when we have more information. However in the meantime, desktop valuations will continue to be undertaken in these areas where criteria is met, for full details see our broker Q&A's.

We're changing our policy on Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards

We wanted to let you know that from today Monday 24th June 2019, we have made some important changes to our policy relating to energy efficiency rules for new tenancies on buy to let properties in England and Wales.

In 2018 Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) were introduced which made it unlawful to agree new tenancies on properties which do not meet the prescribed energy efficiency ratings.

All residential BTL securities will need to have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) of E or higher, unless a valid exemption applies.

We will now retain £2,000 for each buy to let property that falls into any of the below categories;

• Has an EPC of F/G
• Cannot provide evidence to confirm exemption
• Does not confirm what the EPC is

The retained amount of £2,000 will be held for a period of 6 months for existing customers, until the borrower provides a valid EPC or exemption certificate. If your client provides the EPC certificate at the pre-offer/application stage no money will be retained at completion.

Exemptions may include listed buildings and generally older properties.

Our Buy-to-let submission guide and Full Lending Criteria have been updated today to reflect the changes. These will help you make sure you have everything needed when submitting your client’s application with us. 

If you need help with a specific case get in touch with your BDM.

When it comes to purchasing commercial property we know how important cash flow is. That’s why, as part of our drive to continually support SMEs, we offer VAT Loans for commercial property – reducing the day one cash flow burden for customers taking out a new Aldermore Commercial Mortgage. 

• VAT Loans are available on purchases of property elected for VAT in conjunction with a new Aldermore Commercial Mortgage
• VAT Loans available for 100% of the VAT due
• Loan term of 4 months

Speak to a member of our Commercial Mortgage team for further details. Eligibility criteria and terms apply.
