The ideal lender?

“This list of actions represents all those times you’ve worked with a lender and needed to speak to an underwriter but couldn’t or had a decision from a computer when a person would have been better. They’re small things that make a big difference, and this outlines the practical steps we’re taking to make things faster, better and easier for you and your clients.”

Paul Fenn, Director of Business Development, Skipton Building Society.

Skipton Building Society for Intermediaries

Skipton Building Society has been helping people secure homes since 1853. The vast majority of the Society’s lending is done through intermediaries like you. In fact, without you, it wouldn’t be where it is today.

Good-to-know

Minimum Submission

Providing a fully packaged case first time will improve the time to offer and help out their underwriters.

Here’s a checklist of everything Skipton will need:

• Latest P60 (if using additional income).
• Latest month’s payslip (if employed).
• Latest full month’s bank statement showing salary credit (also rental income if BTL).
• Accountant’s Certificate (preferable) OR latest two years’ full signed accounts OR two years’ SA302s and one year of accounts (if self-employed).
• Any other fees your client has opted to pay up front.
