Capital and interest repayment mortgage
• To assess the client's needs and circumstances, a total of 5 fact-find questions will be asked for capital and interest repayment mortgages
• If the answer is ‘No’ to all of the questions, the application will qualify for the straight through process
• If any of the questions are answered ‘Yes’ an element of assessment and processing will be required before the application can be completed

external appraisal of the property required?
CLIENT
FACT-FIND
(2/2)
Interest only mortgage
• For interest only mortgages, the client fact-find questions are slightly different to the questions asked for capital and interest repayment mortgages
• Interest only mortgages don’t qualify for the straight through process because we need to ensure end of term repayment plans are in place before the application can complete. In some scenarios we may request to see evidence of the client’s repayment plans
• Additional affordability assessment may also be required depending on the client’s needs and circumstances
