Mortgage Illustrations

Key points you need to know

Mortgage Illustration Section 2 - The mortgage intermediary and which services you are providing your client with

This section details fees that the Lender pays to the intermediary, such as procuration fees and inducements. If you obtain a Mortgage Illustration from the Nationwide website, Nationwide will automatically disclose the gross procuration fee and details of the recipient(s) within this section of the Mortgage Illustration. This may not be the amount of money that you receive from your company/firm.

In addition Nationwide will calculate the value of any inducement you, your company and any network/club has received. Nationwide's definition of an inducement includes, for example:

• lunch
• football tickets
• gifts - e.g. bottle of wine
• trips
• valuations

Nationwide will only disclose inducements if the overall value of these exceed £50 per mortgage case completed.

Where using a mortgage sourcing system to obtain a Mortgage Illustration you will be required to complete the details yourself for Mortgage Illustration sections 2 & 4. Nationwide will provide information on any inducements over £50 to your company/network/club, who in turn will provide this information to you.

Please note: Although a Mortgage Illustration is an industry standard document in terms of format, content may differ due to lender interpretation.

Mortgage Illustrations also contain intermediary contact details. Please make sure you have updated your details on our database.

Mortgage Illustrations will not be branded 'Nationwide' as it is the intermediary's Mortgage Illustration and as such it can be printed on your own branded stationery. Mortgage Illustrations do not check an applicant's eligibility for a mortgage or our lending criteria, affordability, or credit information. Nationwide can only produce Mortgage Illustration calculations on the information supplied and the relevant product chosen on the day.

Nationwide for Intermediaries can only accept applications on an "Advised" basis.

Mortgage Illustration Section 4 - What fees are you charging?

This section details all fees that the client is required to pay to both the Lender and yourself. For example, any applicable valuation fees, booking fees and reservation fees that Nationwide charges. If you also charge fees, you must input these into the Mortgage Illustration.

These details must also be disclosed in the mortgage application in order for us to disclose them in the offer documentation.

Under FCA regulation, Mortgage Illustrations have becomes an integral part of the mortgage sales process and as such it is vital that you know where to obtain a Nationwide Mortgage Illustration for any scheme.

Nationwide for Intermediaries can only accept applications on an 'Advised' basis, and this should be reflected in the level of service confirmed in section 2 of the Mortgage Illustration.

It will therefore only be available to existing Nationwide customers moving home who are already on the BMR/SMR and wish to port to their BMR/SMR product. They can only port across their existing balance and any additional borrowing required must be taken on a product other than the BMR/SMR Porting Only product.

Applications received on the BMR/SMR Porting Only Product that are not for existing customers who are porting their BMR/SMR on its existing balance will not be accepted and the application will be returned.
