If you have a physical copy of the original document, you can scan or take a pic of it. Please make sure that:

I've started my SFS form in Mortgage Solution, but I'm not ready to submit it. Can I save my details so far and come back later?

Yes. You can save and return to your SFS form at any time.

Can I change the email I used to register for Mortgage Solution with?

Yes. Use the 'Messages' section in the top right corner of the Mortgage Solution dashboard to request the change.

Will this affect my credit rating?

If you fall behind with your mortgage repayments, by law we must report this to the Central Credit Register (CCR). We will also report it to another credit reference agency if appropriate. The report would show the number of payments you had missed. If we repossess your property, we must report this to the CCR. We also report it to another credit reference agency if appropriate. If we change (restructure) the terms of your mortgage to help you manage or avoid arrears or other financial difficulty, we must report this to the CCR as a ‘restructure event’. We would also report this to another credit reference agency if appropriate. Generally, we do not give you notice before we make a report to the CCR or any other credit reference agency. Banks and other financial institutions have access to reports of arrears, repossessions, restructure events and arrangements to deal with arrears. This could have a negative effect on your credit rating, making it more difficult for you to borrow from us or other lenders in the future. For example, you may have difficulty getting a loan or other credit.

Can I upload multiple documents?

Yes. You can upload more than one document if you need to.

What supporting documents do I need?

The 'Documents' section of the SFS form lists the documents you need to give us with your submission.

Please note: Depending on the information you give us in your submission, we may require additional documents from you after you have submitted your SFS form. If required, these documents will be displayed in the Documents section during the submission review stage of the process.

Can I upload photos of my supporting documents?

Yes. You can upload scanned copies, e-originals or photos of your documents.

Ensure all documents are valid, legible and all 4 corners are fully visible. You will be asked to re-upload your documents if they do not meet this criteria
