Temporary pause on new mortgage applications
All of our underwriting is manual and so our DIP process is, too. Just contact us with full details of the application and we’ll consider this for you, referring it if necessary to our daily credit committee meetings of senior decision makers.
We are pausing new mortgage applications from 1 August to 8 September 2025. This gives our teams time to focus on existing cases and maintain our great service.
Thank you for your support and understanding.
If you have any concerns or questions, please contact your Business Development Manager directly.
