Enact Solicitors Update

 

Tuesday 12th October 2021

Enact have provided a preferred email box for our Brokers to use when requesting general updates on Customer applications. The emails will be responded to within 24 hours.

 

This will improve the experience & avoid call waiting times. The email box is less labour intensive for Enact to answer, meaning they can answer more enquiries than they can via the phone.

 

With immediate effect, Brokers are asked to use the below mailbox for all general enquiries.

 

The email address:

remobrokerupdates@enact.co.uk

 

Brokers should also utilise the Case Tracker Enact provide them which allows them to instant message their Cases Handler.

 

The general number 0344 244 2000 is the generic switchboard number & not the Client Line which is given priority.  The number to be used for urgent queries is: 0344 244 3079

We’ve made enhancements to our Product Switch process

 

Wednesday 22th September 2021

What’s happening?

 

​We’re delighted to announce that we have successfully launched Product Switch Straight Through Processing (STP) into our Intermediary channel today.

 

What you need to know:

 

You and your customers will be able to take advantage of the benefits enjoyed by those customers who apply online.

 

Where STP is possible, these benefits will include:

 

•       The Variation Agreement/ESIS being automatically generated and emailed to the broker within one hour of the application being submitted

•       An email being sent to customers at the same time which will contain instructions on how to read and accept their new rate online

•       Customers and brokers receiving real time email updates as their application moves through the process

•       Customers and brokers being able to cancel their STP Product Switch online. Brokers will only be able to cancel an application which they have initiated.

Where STP isn’t possible, we’ll follow the existing process – the product switch documentation will be manually produced and issued through Adobe e-sign.

Updating our Residential Calculator

 

Friday 10th September 2021

We’ve made some enhancements to our calculators to create a more consistent and simplified affordability journey.

 

The key changes are:

 

-          Bonus income questions have been added, so that you will no longer need to manually calculate bonus amounts, instead the calculations (to use 100% or 50%) will be done through our decisioning service

-          Self-Employed specific questions have been removed. This will now align the decisions given by the calculator with the recently rolled out improvements to allow us to help more self-employed customers

-          The “standalone” Mortgage Prisoner calculator has been removed. Instead, a new question has been added to the residential calculator to ask if the application is a mortgage prisoner application, this question is defaulted to “No”. (see our A-Z for more information on Mortgage Prisoner applications)

 

In addition to the above, we have made improvements to the calculator, such as real time error displays as you are filling in the calculator and changes to the helpful text for some of the questions.

 

The old calculator will cease to work from the 13th September. If you have a link saved to the residential calculator, this will need to be updated from the 13th September.

We're making enhancements to our Buy to Let proposition

 

Tuesday 10th August 2021

Effective today, we are implementing a range of changes which will simplify and enhance our Buy to Let proposition. These enhancements will help us support even more customers with their Buy to Let goals.

 

What’s Changing

 

·         Two new simplified indication calculators:  One for ‘Small Landlords and Like-for-like Remortgages’, the other for ‘Portfolio Landlords and First-Time Buyer Buy to Lets’.

·         Lower Stress rate of 4.5% for 5 year products and Like-for-Like Remortgages – With two maximum lend options shown on calculators.

·         For Small Landlords and Like-for-Like applications, Brokers select client’s tax band for assessment, no proof of income is required on submission and the application will proceed through a reduced underwriting process – This means a quicker journey for the broker and customer.

·         Removal of Loan-to-Income (LTI) cap for Small Landlord and Like-for-Like applications, meaning the maximum lend will be based on the subject property’s rental and the clients tax band.

·         Removal of top-slicing for Small Landlords and Like-for-Like remortgages. In order to help build a strong and simplistic foundation for our Buy to Let proposition, we have removed any top-slicing ability of these type of applications. Income will still be used towards Portfolio Landlord and First-Time Buyer applications.

 

For a high-level overview of the changes, please view our new animated explainer video:

 Buy to Let video

 

To complement the above changes, we have created a new Buy to Let Hub, which can be accessed below:

Launch of Mortgage Guarantee Scheme Products for Intermediaries

 

Friday 28th May 2021

At NatWest Intermediary Solutions we are delighted to announce that from the 2nd June we are launching our new Mortgage Guarantee Scheme products for Intermediaries. The new scheme allows first time buyers and those wanting to move home a chance to do so, using just a 5% deposit.

 

This move underlines our commitment to low deposit lending for both first time buyers and existing homeowners.

 

We signalled our intention to launch the scheme for Intermediaries, after we had implemented changes to our application system to provide you with AIP’s which have a soft footprint for your customers.

 

The new Mortgage Guarantee scheme will offer both 2 and 5 year fixed rates at 95% LTV. The maximum purchase price of the properties will be £600,000 and cannot be repaid on an Interest only basis.

 

For the mortgage to be eligible for the new scheme, it will need to:

  • be a residential mortgage, not a second home and not buy-to-let
  • not be a new build property – which is any property built, first occupied in its current state, or significantly modernised, refurbished or altered within the last 2 years.
  • be taken out by an individual or individuals rather than an incorporated company
  • have a loan-to-value of between 90 per cent and 95 per cent
  • pass NatWest standard risk assessments e.g. affordability and credit checks

 

We will communicate the product specific information to you on the 1st June.

Changes to our Buy To Let Proposition

 

Friday 28th May 2021

On the 2nd June we are implementing a change to our Buy to Let offering.

 

Buy to Let – Minimum Income

 

Our current requirement for an applicant to have £25k per annum income is being removed.

 

What you need to know:

 

A Buy to Let customer will no longer require a minimum income level to apply for a buy to let mortgage. This change applies to all buy to let application types.

 

Our Buy to Let affordability calculator will be updated to reflect this change from the 2nd June.

New Economic Hub now available

 

Friday 28th May 2021

At NatWest Intermediary Solutions we appreciate that there is currently a heightened interest in the status of the UK economy, as we all seek to understand just what the future may hold and what impact this may have on the mortgage market.

 

To help provide you with some insight on economy, we have been working alongside our expert Economist Team to produce a new ‘Economic Hub’ for you to utilise. The hub will be updated every month and provide you with a regular overview of the key themes impacting our economy.

 

For brokers who have attended our regional events in recent years, you will know that the content our Economist Team produce is timely and thought-provoking, and when assessing feedback of the regional events the economist content has always scored highly.

 

Removal of Coronavirus Hub

 

From the outset of the Coronavirus outbreak last year, we created a specific ‘Coronavirus Hub’ where we housed all the updates to affected policies and processes. We have worked hard to ensure that all the relevant content on the Coronavirus Hub has now been amalgamated into our A-Z of Lending Criteria page and Self Employed Hub.

 

Because of this, we have made the decision to remove the Coronavirus Hub, and will focus as we did prior to the outbreak of updating the A-Z of Lending Criteria page with all our criteria updates.

Max LTV for Remortgage Applications with Additional Borrowing

 

Wednesday 26th May 2021

From 26/05/2021 we are increasing the maximum LTV for Remortgage applications with additional borrowing (excluding Unsecured Debt Consolidation) to 90% - If any element of the Remortgage is for debt consolidation, the maximum LTV remains at 80%

 

What you need to know:

 

·         To support customers who are looking to release capital from their home (subject to current criteria), we are returning our maximum LTV back to 90% (up from 80%)

·         However, if any element of the loan request is to consolidate Debts (as per below) then the maximum LTV remains at 80%

·         Its key to note that Shared Equity & Ownership staircasing requests are NOT considered as debt consolidation and can be offered up to 90% LTV.

·         If, following the property valuation the LTV exceeds 80% and debt consolidation has been requested, the loan amount will need to be reduced to return below 80% LTV

No more hard-footprints for an Agreement in Principle

 

Monday 26th April 2021

Effective from Monday 26 April 2021

 

We are introducing a new credit decision engine that will initially be available exclusively for brokers from 26th April.

­­

There will be many benefits for customers who choose a NatWest mortgage via an intermediary, including that there will be no hard footprint left at the Agreement in Principle (AiP) stage and no limit to the volume of AiPs for each customer. Only at the full mortgage application stage (FMA) will the soft footprint be converted into a hard footprint.

 

Other benefits include:

 

ü  The AiP will be guaranteed for 30 days, provided that no changes are made

ü  We have simplified our decision and warning messages to provide you with greater clarity and understanding

ü  The streamlining of back end processes mean that you should see a reduction in requests for customer identification

ü  We will, in future, be able to display the relevant packaging requirements to your customer in a more bespoke fashion

ü  Should any reassessment of the application be necessary, the original parameters set out in the AiP will persist for the life of application

 

AiP transition period

 

-      AiPs completed before launch of the new decision engine on 26th April must be progressed to FMA by the 7th May.  After this, your AiP will expire.  All new AiPs started after 26th April will be valid for 30 days.

-      For those cases started before 26th April, we will require supporting documentation to be provided within 15 working days.

New dedicated broker support line to help customer applications benefit from stamp duty holiday extensions

 

Thursday 11 March 2021

Do you have customers looking to complete before the extended stamp duty holiday deadline? At NatWest Intermediary Solutions we’re doing all we can to help.

 

Starting today, we’re opening a new dedicated support line exclusively for brokers, to help answer your queries relating to applications that need to be completed in time to benefit from the stamp duty holiday.

 

The number to call us on is: 0345 600 0205, selecting option 2.  Lines are open from 9am – 5pm Monday to Friday.

 

Please ensure you have your Customer name and Account Number, or Postcode and first line of address to hand when calling us.  Our agents will also ask two random questions from the following:

 

·         Customer’s Middle Name or Customer’s DOB

·         Correspondence address and postcode

·         Loan amount within £5k or balance within £5k

·         Current account number and Sort code

 

We would also like to highlight that we have spare capacity within our underwriting teams. This means that provided cases are fully packaged with all required documentation, and there’s no delayed access to the property for the Valuer, then we have a high degree of confidence in being able to issue the Offer of Loan prior to 30th June.   Our fully packaged application time to offer is circa 2 days.

 

You’ll be aware that we will also take search indemnity insurance which puts us ahead of many lenders in the market and makes hitting the deadline more likely. 

 

We will also instruct your valuation on day 1 for cases under £500K.  For cases above this amount, the instruction will happen after we have underwritten the case which is currently 2 days given our present underwriting service standards.

 

We can also support customers who have been delayed with their house purchase to help them take advantage of the stamp duty holiday extension.  You can apply for an existing mortgage offer to be extended on behalf of the customer:

 

    For up to 3 months. where a customer is one month from expiry of their current mortgage offer

    For up to 6 months, in 3 month increments, for New Build properties 

We can now accept screenshots for documents

 

Monday 1 March 2021

What’s happening?

 

 

We are making the process easier for our customers when providing documentation  supporting their application. Currently we only accept uploaded PDF documents for customer documentation however we are now allowing customers to use screenshots (including mobile phone screenshots) of the required documents. See list below. 

 

What you need to know:

 

 

·         With immediate effect documentation from customers can now be sent as screenshots or uploaded as a PDF document.

·         The following documents are included in the change

o   Payslips

o   Bank Statements

o   Financial accounts

o   P60

o   Employer Reference Letter

o   SA302 Forms

o   Tax Calculation and Tax Year Overview

o   Gifted Deposit Letter

o   Interest Only Broker Letter

o   Given Your Agreement Form

 

It’s important to note that we must be able to clearly identify your customers name, account details and the date on any documentation that you submit to us and screenshots cannot be used for KYC purposes.

The required documents have not changed, it is only the format by which we accept them that has changed.

Winners of second NatWest Local Hero Mortgage Awards revealed

 

Thursday 4th February 2021

The 24 winning and highly commended broker firms in the NatWest Local Hero Mortgage Awards have been announced.

 

NatWest is using the awards to recognise broker firms that have gone beyond everyday expectations to put the customer and their local community at the heart of their business. These achievements have only been magnified by the impact of the pandemic.

Across the 12 regional categories, firms were asked to demonstrate their position as a local mortgage and protection expert, their commitment to quality advice, excellent customer outcomes, and their positive contributions to the local community.

The judging process also urged firms to show a clear focus on a more sustainable approach to reducing the social and environmental impact of their business practices and how they encourage others to take a more sustainable approach to environmental issues.

 

NatWest head of intermediary mortgages Graham Felstead said the lender was delighted to recognise its Local Heroes again.

He added that while it was disappointing this acknowledgement could not be done in person, it did not detract from the hard work, commitment and community focus of all the firms who participated.

“The awards are specifically aimed at recognising the hard work and commitment of mortgage adviser firms that have gone above and beyond normal expectations,” he said.

“These firms have exemplified putting the customer and their local community at the heart of everything they do, in addition to providing sound financial advice for those consumers within their locality.

“We can see again that there are many firms doing exceptional things in their communities.”

Porting Window Reverting to 4 months

 

Friday 15th January 2021

We are making changes to our existing porting process. These changes include reverting the porting refund window to a period of 4 months, as reflected in our Mortgage Illustrations. 

 

What you need to know

 

Several policy rules relating to porting will be clearly shown on our “Lending Criteria” page.

These include:

·         Applications fully submitted prior to 31st January will have a 6 month porting window, as per the current Covid-19 linked extension

·         Applications submitted on or after 1st February will have a 4 month porting window, as per the customer’s mortgage illustration

As a reminder we do not consider porting applications where the customer’s existing mortgage has already been redeemed on/before the date that they apply for the new mortgage OR they already own/co-own the property they are seeking a new application on.

 

What you need to do

 

Please familiarise yourself with our updated porting criteria which can be found on our A-Z of criteria page.

Foreign National policy update - FAQs

 

Tuesday 12th January 2021

What is the definition of Settled and Pre-Settled status?

 

‘Settled’ status is if the customer has lived in the UK for >5 years and can stay in the UK for as long as they like​. This is equivalent to Indefinite leave to remain.

‘Pre-Settled’ status is if the customer has lived in the UK for <5 years. The customer will be allowed to stay in the UK for 5 more years from the date they receive ‘Pre-Settled’ status. This is equivalent to Limited leave to remain. The customer can apply for ‘Settled’ status once they have 5 years continuous residence in the UK.

https://www.gov.uk/settled-status-eu-citizens-families

 

What if an EU national was living in the UK before 31st December 2020 but has not yet applied to the EU settlement scheme?

 

Unless there is another party on the mortgage who has permanent right to reside, EU settlement status, or is an Irish citizen, the customer will not be able to apply for a mortgage or any further lending until they have confirmation of their ‘Settled’ or ‘Pre-Settled’ status. This is because after 30th June 2021, a customer may lose their right to reside in the UK if they have not applied to remain in the UK under the scheme. According to current government guidelines they have until the 30th June 2021 to apply and it is taking up to 5 days for an application to the EU Settlement Scheme to be processed.

 

What if an EU national has moved to the UK after 1st January 2021 and wants to apply for a mortgage?

 

Anyone who enters the UK after 31st December 2020 and isn’t eligible for the EU Settlement Scheme will be subject to the UK’s new points-based immigration system and will need to apply for a visa. Our ability to lend to the customer will depend on whether the visa they obtain meets our Foreign National policy.

 

What about the pipeline process?

 

Any applications for EU, EEA or Swiss nationals submitted prior to 1st January 2021 should follow the policy at time of applying and continue to treat these customers as having permanent right to reside. 

Any applications submitted from 1st January 2021 should follow the new policy.

Foreign National policy update

 

Tuesday 12th January 2021

What’s Happening?

 

As part of the Brexit transition, EU, EEA or Swiss citizens living in the UK before 31 December 2020 must apply to the EU Settlement Scheme to continue living in the UK after 30 June 2021.

To ensure we are supporting customers who were living in the UK before 31 December 2020, and in line with leading competitors, we are making a further update to simplify our foreign national policy.

From 1st January 2021, the treatment of customers with ‘Pre-Settled’ status will be aligned with customers who receive ‘Settled’ status.

 

What you need to know:

 

·         EU, EEA or Swiss citizens who apply to the EU Settlement Scheme will receive either ‘Settled’ or ‘Pre-Settled’ status

·         From 1st January 2021, customers who receive either ‘Settled’ or ‘Pre-Settled’ status will be subject to normal residential and buy to let policy and lending criteria

·         EU, EEA or Swiss citizens who lived in the UK before 31st December 2020 need to have received confirmation of their “Settlement Status” (Settled or Pre-Settled) before entering a mortgage application for new lending

·         Irish citizens, or customers already with indefinite leave to remain, do not need to apply under the EU Settlement Scheme and therefore will be subject to normal residential and buy to let policy and lending criteria

 

Pipeline Cases

 

·         Any applications for EU, EEA or Swiss nationals submitted prior to 1st January 2021 should follow the policy at time of applying and continue to treat these customers as having permanent right to reside. 

·         Any applications submitted from 1st January 2021 should follow the new policy.

 

What you need to do:

 

·         Request evidence of the customer’s settlement status or indefinite leave to remain where required. This can be via a copy of their ‘Settled’/’Pre-Settled’ decision letter.

·         We will require you to include a copy of the customers ‘Settled/Pre Settled’ decision letter as part of their application packaging.

Are your customers prepared? Stamp Duty incentive ending 31st March 2021

 

Tuesday 1st December 2020 

A house purchase must complete by the 31st March 2021 to benefit from the Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) incentive.

According to Zoopla historic data shows that 81% of mortgage applications in December and 54% of applications made in January complete by the end of March. 

Because of the higher than normal housing transactions taking place at the moment it is important to apply as soon as possible and also make sure that each mortgage application you submit is correctly packaged with all the appropriate documentation to give your customers the best chance of benefitting from this incentive. 

We are doing all that we can to support customers looking to benefit from the stamp duty incentive. We have seen increased times taken for local authority searches with a number currently taking longer than six weeks to complete. As part of our support we are pleased to confirm that with immediate effect we can now temporarily accept purchase search indemnity policies, removing a potential barrier for customers looking to benefit from the stamp duty incentive.

 

What can you do to help?

The more you can prepare, the smoother the application process should be. To help us process your customers’ mortgage applications and ensure that their house purchases and moves complete before the deadline, here are a few tips:

 

·         Make sure you have the source each customer’s deposit validated and that the funds are readily available

·         Have evidence of each customer’s income and employment status confirmed

·         If there is anything unusual about a customer’s circumstances please send in a memo with the application

·         Request that your customers engage their Solicitors, Estate Agents and request removals company quotes as early as possible and ensure that all are aware on your target completion date

·         Understand the timescales for completing local authority searches:

Click here

·         Ask customers to alert the vendors’ estate agents that a valuer will need access to the property to conduct a valuation as soon as possible

·         Understand if your customer needs to complete by the 31st March (we recommend avoiding completion on the 31st of March as this will be a busy time)

For more information, and to ensure your customers make the most out of the Stamp Duty incentive, please view our top tips guide that you can share with them.

1.       What is the difference between Partial Furlough and Flexi-Furlough, and what income can be used for customers not yet returned to their full hours?

 

Partial Furlough

Customer has returned to work on a fixed working pattern / number of hours.  Their payslip will include both income earned and income support via the UK Government scheme for their non working hours.

 

For example customer works 4 day per week and is furloughed 1 day per week.

 

The earned income is acceptable and can be used, however the furlough income is not acceptable and cannot be used.

 

Flexi-Furlough

Customer is back at work but not on a set working pattern or fixed number of hours.

 

For example customers works:

- 5 days in week 1

- 3 days in week 2

- 5 days in week 3

- 1 day in week 4

 

Flexi-Furlough is not an acceptable income which can be used, this is not consistent and not evidence of a sustainable level of income.

 

2.       My customer has a planned return to work date and a letter from their employer confirming this.  Can we lend?        

 

No. We require the customer to have returned to work and have received their first full month's payslip(s). This provides suitable evidence to allow us to underwrite reflecting the customers current circumstances.

 

3.       There has been a material change in the application details or the application has been rekeyed due to changes in circumstances.  Can the application proceed under the original policy terms?

 

No - all applications (including re-key and material changes) submitted on or after 01/12/2020 for employed customers must adhere to the new guidance.

 

4.       My customer has multiple jobs and they have not been furloughed from all.  What income can be used?

 

You can use any earned income from the jobs where the customer has returned to work  and can evidence with a payslip(s), unless the customer has been Flexi-Furloughed.

 

5.       ​My customer has been told they have to take some unpaid annual leave by their employer. This will be taken in a one-off period of time, and will affect the matching payslip (e.g. taking off 2 weeks in November so will have a much lower pay in November). Can the customer still apply? How do I calculate their income?         ​

 

The customer should apply once they have returned to work following this unpaid annual leave, and can evidence this with a full month(s) worth of payslip(s) without the impact of the one-off reduction caused by unpaid leave.

               

               

6.       ​My customer has been told they have to take some unpaid annual leave by their employer. This will be taken over a longer period of time (e.g. they must take 20 days off as unpaid over next 6 months). Can the customer still apply? How do I calculate their income?

 

The customer can still apply. To ensure the mortgage is affordable throughout the term, the income used must be the average of the income they will have during the affected time period.

 

For example, if the customer works 22 days per month, receives £2500/month (£30k/year) as salary, and has to take 20 days unpaid over a 6 month period:

 

                Normal work pattern: 22 days X 6 months = 132 days

                Affected work pattern:  132 days (from above) – 22 days unpaid = 110 days

                110 days ÷ 132 days = 83.3%

                83.3% of £2,500 is £2083.33/month. This is annualised for affordability purposes to £25,000

 

The specifics of the unpaid leave arrangement must be evidenced via a letter on letterheaded paper or an email from an identifiable employer email address. This must contain:

 

                How many days/hours of unpaid leave must be taken

                Time period it is to be taken over (e.g. “6 months” or “between xx/xx and yy/yy”)

                The normal amount of days/hours customer works per month

               

               

7.       My customer is on furlough but will start maternity leave before returning to work. OR, My customer has not been furloughed and will be returning to work after their maternity leave. What evidence do I need to support the application?

 

Our business as usual policy applies which includes understanding whether the customer is currently at risk of redundancy and intends to return to work after their maternity leave.

               

8.       ​If we have a joint application where one applicant is impacted but the case passes the affordability assessment without the second applicant income, can we proceed with their application?

 

​Yes if the mortgage is affordable based on acceptable income earned which can be evidenced in line with our policy, then you can proceed with the application.

 

9.       ​The customer has had a temporary increase to their income, for example:

Increase in over time            

Use of savings and family support   

Temporary increase in any benefits

(This is not an exhaustive list)          

 

Temporary increases to income will not be taken into account when assessing a mortgage application as per current process.

               

10.   ​​If an Offer Extension is granted, does the original policy still apply ? (i.e before 01/12/2020)                                  

 

                                                                                                                                                                    

​​​​For Offer Extension's on the existing Property or where there are no changes to the customers circumstances the original policy will apply. Where there have been changes to the customers circumstances, or for cases where the underwrite is impacted (e.g. change to loan size, change of property, change to income etc) the new policy guidance will apply.

                               

11.   ​If the figure from the p60 is lower/higher for overtime/commission/monthly bonus from 3 post furlough payslips, how do we calculate the figure to use?

 

​There has been no change from our standard process regarding calculating overtime/commission/ monthly bonus, see our: Customer Returning from Furlough Packaging Guide

               

12.   For customers who have returned to work post-furlough between 1 and 3 months how will you assess the Basic Income?

 

• We will use the basic income evidenced from all available post-furlough payslips.

• We will  not include any Covid-19 related government support.

 

 

13.   For customers who have returned to work post-furlough between 1 and 3 months how will you assess the Guaranteed Additional Income   (i.e. Benefit Funding, Shift Allowance, Location Allowance e.g. London Weighting)

 

• We will use the guaranteed additional income evidenced  from all available post-furlough payslips.

• We will not include any Covid-19 related government support.                                                                                                                            

 

Evidence of Income requirements for employed customers

 

Monday 30th November 2020 

What’s happening

With the current restrictions and the UK Government extending the Job Retention Scheme until March 2021, we have reviewed and updated our employed policy to ensure we are doing the right thing for customers.

 

At this time our primary purpose remains to ensure that any mortgage we provide to customers is affordable.

 

 

What you need to know

We continue to support customers who have returned to work following furlough, providing they can demonstrate at least one full month’s evidence of their income e.g. payslips.  For customers who cannot provide this evidence, we are unable to accept an application at this time.

 

A return to work letter from the customer’s employer is no longer acceptable evidence.

 

These changes in policy are effective from 01/12/20 for all new employed applications. These changes do not impact employed applications submitted prior to 01/12/20

 

We will continue to review our policy in light of any appropriate changes which affect employed customers. 

 

For all customers not impacted by furlough, there are no changes to our current policies.

 

What you need to do

 

Review and follow the revised policy guidelines for employed customers:

 

Furloughed Customers Packaging Guide

 

Self-employed policy remains the same:

 

Coronavirus Hub

 

Please remember to let us know if there is a change in the customer’s circumstances at any point during the mortgage process.

Self-Employed Customers - FAQs

 

Monday 23rd November 2020 

1. My customer has a Limited Company, do I need to review the last 3 months bank statement?

Yes – The company could still have been impacted by Covid-19 and the statements should be reviewed for adverse trends.  If any trends are identified please provide further information in the Self Employed Supplementary Information Sheet

 

2. If a customer is a contract worker and their income will be reducing, how do we assess? For example a contract worker who previously had a £50,000 contract, which has now been replaced with a £35,000 contract.  

You must use the customer's new revised income for affordability assessment.

 

You must obtain evidence of what the customer's new income is (for example, in the form of a new contract). If a customer cannot obtain evidence we cannot help them at this time.

 

3. My customer has had a temporary change to their income such as a business grant, family support or a temporary increase in benefits.  Can I use the increased income when assessing affordability?     

No – You cannot include any temporary income when assessing affordability as per current guidance.

 

Please ensure you adhere to updated guidance if this includes a SEISS grant.

 

4. My customer has applied for the second or subsequent version of the SEISS grant but this was declined – can we lend?             

No. By applying for the grant the customers have declared that there is an ongoing impact to their business from which they derive their source of income.

 

5. My customer has applied for a SEISS grant and is still awaiting an outcome on acceptance OR has received it and is willing to repay it – can we lend?

No. By applying for the grant the customers has declared that there is an ongoing impact to their business, therefore this income cannot be used for affordability purposes.

 

6. Can an application be submitted where only a small amount of the SEISS grant is required to pass affordability?

No.  We will not accept applications where any amount of SEISS grant applied for on/after 14/7/2020 is required to support affordability.

 

7. My customer has received a SEISS grant, can they apply?             

Scenario

Can we lend?

I have not had a grant and my business has not been impacted

Yes

I have had the first grant, no additional grant and business not impacted            

Yes

I have applied for a grant on/after 14/07/2020

No

I have taken 2 or more grants, business not impacted

No

My business has been impacted, e.g. has an ongoing reduction in Turnover

No

 

8. My customer has applied for the second or subsequent versions of the SEISS grant but now claims to have returned to pre Covid levels of trading – can we lend?    

No.  As the customer has declared that there is an ongoing impact to their business there will not be an acceptable period of evidence (e.g. 12 months) that they have returned to normal trading levels and sustainable profits.

 

9. There has been a material change in the application details or the application has been rekeyed due to changes in circumstances.  Can the application proceed under the original policy terms?  

No - all applications (including re-key and material changes) submitted on or after 23/11/2020 for self-employed customers must adhere to the new guidance.

 

11.My customers are applying for a joint mortgage, one applicant is self-employed and has income we cannot use (taken a SEISS grant on or after 14/07 and/or is impacted by Covid-19). The mortgage is affordable using their non-self-employed income and/or the other party's income. Can you lend?           

Yes, providing that the other forms of income are sustainable (e.g. employed income, rental income) these can be used as part of the affordability calculation.

 

Update: Self-Employed Customers

 

Monday 23rd November 2020 

What’s Happening

 

With the current restrictions and the UK Government extending the SEISS grant until March 2021, we have reviewed and updated our self-employed policy to ensure we are doing the right thing for customers.

 

Since 14 July 2020, individuals applying for a SEISS grant have been required to confirm their business has been impacted by Covid-19 to receive the grant.  Due to this confirmed impact and the potential ongoing effect Covid-19 has to businesses, we have made some changes to our self-employed policy.   

 

At this time our primary purpose remains to ensure that any mortgage we provide to customers is affordable.

 

What you need to know

 

From 24/11/2020, the following income cannot be used to assess mortgage affordability:

 

·         Income derived from a business that has applied for or received a SEISS grant on or after 14 July 2020.

We will continue to consider other forms of income to support an application for self-employed customers whose business have been impacted, i.e. rental, employed income or other businesses where SEISS grants have not been applied for or received.

 

Limited companies are not impacted by this change.

 

We will continue to review our policy in light of any appropriate changes which affect self-employed customers.

 

What you need to do

Buy to Let Proposition changes from NatWest Intermediary Solutions

 

Friday 20th November 2020 

Following feedback from our brokers NatWest Intermediary Solutions are pleased to announce a range of changes to their Buy to Let proposition which will implemented from the 23rd November.

 

What’s changing?

 

·         Interest Coverage Ratio (ICR) is reducing from 135% to 125% for basic rate taxpayers.

 

·         Letting agent fees are currently captured for lower rate tax payers, but are not included in the affordability assessment. As we have reduced the ICR, letting agent fees will now be factored in for these customers. Everything else relating to Letting Agent Fees remains the same. 

 

o   For example, a lower rate tax payer not using a letting agent, looking to borrow £200,000, the monthly rental requirements will reduce from £1237.50 to £1145.83.

 

·         The maximum age at the end of the term for Buy to Let applications is increasing from age 70 to age 80.

 

·         Affordability Assessment - For applications where the term goes beyond the customer’s retirement age (for either one or both customers), only the rental income from the property being purchased/re-mortgaged will be used.

The result that you will see from the simple version of our calculator for a customer that is borrowing into retirement will be the final amount that we will lend. Please be aware that in these circumstances, there is no benefit in completing the full calculator. 

 

·         Eligibility Criteria - Rental Income will no longer be used to achieve the minimum eligibility criteria of £25k per annum.  All other sources of acceptable income will remain the same.

 

o   Example 1: a customer who is retiring at age 70 and wishes to take the buy to let mortgage term to age 80 – they’d need to earn a minimum of £25k from acceptable income sources. We will only use the rental income from the property being mortgaged, if it is sufficient to meet our rental requirements.

 

o   Example 2: a customer who has already retired and wishes to take the buy to let term to age 80, they can do so provided that they have a minimum £25k income from acceptable income sources and if the rental income from the property being mortgaged is sufficient to meet our requirements.

 

Transitional Arrangements/Pipeline Cases

 

·         Pipeline Management - Cases submitted before 23rd Nov 2020 will not be affected by these changes unless there is a significant change, such as the case lapsing or new property details required.

 

·         If an existing case would benefit from these changes, underwriters have the discretion to apply them.

 

Interest Only and Credit Affordability changes from NatWest Intermediary Solutions

 

Friday 20th November 2020 

What’s happening?

 

Following broker feedback we are pleased to announce that from the 23rd November, we are making changes to our Interest Only proposition. Our aim is that this will enable you to help more of your customers secure an Interest Only mortgage with us.

 

We are also making a change to our background affordability calculations to ensure we continue to lend responsibly when assessing customers current and future mortgage eligibility.

 

What you need to know:

 

·         Interest Only acceptable income types will now directly match our capital and interest criteria i.e. we can now accept bonus income when assessing affordability.

 

·         For joint Interest Only applications, we have introduced a new minimum combined income of £100k per year see examples below.

 

·         A sole Applicants minimum qualifying income will remain at £75k per year.

 

Qualifying Income Examples

App Type             Income                 Outcome

Sole                       £75K                      Meets minimum income - £75k sole income criteria

Joint                      £50K + £60K        Meets minimum income - £100k combined income criteria

Joint                      £75K + £20K        Meets minimum income - £75k sole income criteria

Joint                      £50K + £40K        Fails minimum income - Neither £75k sole or £100k joint income

 

Transitional Arrangements/Pipeline Cases

 

·         As a result of the affordability changes, there may be a reduction in the maximum lend compared to previous affordability assessments.

 

·         Pipeline Management - Cases submitted before 23rd Nov 2020 will not be affected by these changes unless there is a significant change, such as the case lapsing or new property details required.

 

·         If an existing case would benefit from these changes, underwriters have the discretion to apply them.
