Document Requirements
In order for us to start research for your mortgage, we will need some documents from you to assess your income and expenditure. The lenders will also ask us for these documents once the application has been submitted.
Our Portal
We use a secure portal which you can access at the top of our website. Once we have had an initial chat and booked you in for an appointment, we will send you an invite to the portal. You will need to upload any requested documents before the main meeting so the adviser can review your financial situation in detail.
You will receive an email with a link through to the portal along with a code sent via text message, which you use to register. If you find you have had a text but not an email, please check your junk folder. If you have a ‘promotions’ inbox on your email, then check that as well as the email often finds its way in.
After you’ve accessed the portal, you will see a list of document requirements, which we need to be in a PDF format and not a photo, as lenders will not accept these.
When uploading documents, please ensure you click both the ‘upload’ button and ‘send’ button. You use the upload button to pull your document onto the portal, but we will not see it at our end until you press ‘send’.
