*Where your client has, or will have on completion, only one mortgaged property, standard LTV limits will apply. Maximum 85% LTV will continue to apply if the client will own two or more mortgaged properties on completion and must be keyed as a Second Property application, even if the property being purchased will be your client’s main residence.

**This includes applications where armed forces personnel don't have a UK address and are looking to include a BFPO postcode. Where your client can't provide UK address history, the Ministry of Defence BFPO postcode that corresponds to their barracks can be keyed.

Intermediary application exceptions This will reveal additional content

Please note intermediaries can't complete the following application types.

Transfer of Equity
Additional Borrowing

In these circumstances, your client should be directed to their nearest Nationwide branch or nationwide.co.uk.

Rate switch exceptions This will reveal additional content

The following rate switch scenarios need to be submitted as paper applications:

Where there are more than two applicants on the existing mortgage
where your client is switching more than four accounts

Submitting my own mortgage or rate switch application This will reveal additional content

You can only submit these applications via Nationwide.co.uk or a Nationwide branch. Alternatively, your application can be submitted by another intermediary.

Change of property process This will reveal additional content

If, on behalf of your client, you need to replace details of one property with another during the application process, the original case will need to be cancelled and a new application submitted. The new application will require a new product reserved from the rates available at the time of re-application.

To arrange for the removal of the additional credit score, you can talk to one of our Business Development Advisers on 0345 600 31 31, and then press option 2 for system support. It can take up to ten days for the request to be sent to the credit agencies, who will in turn take varying times to update their own records.

Please note when re-entering your client's details at the 'Create Case' stage, NFI Online will pick up that you've keyed a previous case for this client. If you select 'Add to Case', some of the details for this client will copy onto the new case, saving you time.

Porting exceptions This will reveal additional content

The following porting scenarios need to be submitted as paper applications:

Porting a 25 year fixed rate
Porting an account with a future dated Product Switch
Porting if the mortgage term takes the applicant past 75 years old (like for like applications only)
Porting of 4 or more accounts
Porting an account where the current mortgaged property is being let out
Porting of 3 or more applicants (like for like applications only)

What happens in the event of a rate change? This will reveal additional content

All paper applications can be faxed to 01604 852 879 to secure a rate. Please note that to adhere to PCI-DSS requirements, card payment authorisation must not be submitted via fax. Fee payments will be taken separately over the telephone.

If key application information is outstanding which prevents the staff progressing the case to product reservation, the rate will not be secured.

In addition, all paper applications post marked with the date the rate withdrawal notification was received will be honoured if they are fully completed with a valid booking fee, if applicable, enclosed.
