Creating a DIP and keying information
If you want to create a Mortgage Illustration before the DIP in NFI Online, you can enter the data into the DIP process. This will save you having to key the data again. You'll be unable to produce a Mortgage Illustration prior to completing a DIP for additional borrowing (further advance) applications. You don’t have to create a Mortgage Illustration before a DIP.
You can get a DIP decision for your client even if your client hasn’t found a property yet, but this won’t include a decision on the property. And you’ll still need to enter the security details before you can proceed to Full Mortgage Application.
As long as a DIP decision hasn’t been obtained, you can revisit the DIP section and amend the property details. Where a DIP decision has been received and you’d like to change your clients address, this will need to be done via a new application.
It’s very important to ensure that the information you’ve keyed is accurate. If anything’s incorrect, you’ll be sent an underwriting request to make changes. This will delay your decision.
Once the DIP has been scored, you won’t be able to amend the current and previous address history, or applicant’s name. In this case, please contact us for further guidance.

DIP case referred

There are a number of reasons why your case may be referred such as we might not be able to verify details for an existing customer. Or the applicant’s credit history may not be satisfactory etc. Please don't attach any documents at this stage as this may delay the decision.
