DIP refer cases

Once you’ve submitted a Decision in Principle, if the decision is 'Refer', you should STOP and wait for a Subjective Accept. At this stage, your case hasn’t been underwritten.

Submitting a Full Mortgage Application (FMA)

Once you’ve received a Subjective Accept, you can proceed and submit the FMA. If you continue to FMA before receiving a Subjective Accept, the valuation won’t be instructed until the case has been fully assessed and is deemed acceptable by our underwriters. This will mean your case will be delayed.

If you’ve received a Subjective Accept, and you need to make any changes to the initial DIP, this could change the application back to 'Refer'.

Underwriting cases

Your case will only be underwritten once you’ve submitted the FMA.

We need to underwrite some higher risk cases in more detail. To prevent delays for your clients, please see our ‘Five simple steps to a speedier decision’ below, or download a copy. 

 

Rate changes

In NFI Online, you can reserve a product for 90 days and, even if rates change in this time, we’ll honour the rate that you reserved.

Our current service levels

During the Covid-19 pandemic, we need to underwrite some of our higher risk cases in a bit more depth to ensure we continue to lend responsibly in these challenging times. We ask for your patience during this unprecedented time.

Saving you time

If your case is a DIP refer, please wait for a Subjective Accept before submitting the case to FMA and ensure the initial DIP data is keyed accurately. Please also upload all requested documents when you submit the case to FMA, as this will help to avoid any unnecessary delays during the application process.

Our service levels are updated daily so please keep an eye on these. Please don’t contact us within these time frames, we’re working hard to respond to you as soon as we can.
