Our service

We will guide you through your mortgage application, from Underwriting to Mortgage Offer and Completion. Once we have received your submitted application, we will send you confirmation and will keep you informed throughout the process, either by text, email, phone call or letter.

If you start a mortgage application but do not complete it, you will be contacted with tips and advice on how to complete your mortgage application.

The loan approval process begins with Underwriting. This is when we assess whether we can lend to you and, if so, how much you can afford to borrow.

Once Underwriting is complete, we will supply you with a Mortgage Offer. You will need to review and approve this document. Once we receive your signed approval, we will then work to complete the process.

Completion is the drawdown of funds. This is when we release the money for your mortgage.

‍

Our advice

We can only advise on, and offer, our own mortgage products. According to your preferences and circumstances, we will recommend suitable mortgage products and prepare a mortgage illustration for you that explains the recommended product. Please take the time to review this document carefully and ask any questions.

Once you have received advice, you are free to submit your application for a mortgage.

We are responsible for identifying a suitable mortgage product for you. You are responsible for providing us with accurate and up-to-date information to assist in this process.

‍

Fees

We do not charge a fee for our mortgage advice, but other taxes or costs relating to the house purchase may be payable even though they are not paid through us or imposed by us.

‍

If we can't work with you

We may refuse to proceed with an application if:

• Your chosen product is no longer available and a suitable alternative mortgage cannot be sourced/provided;
• There has been a pricing or description error and an alternative product cannot be sourced/provided;
• The documentation you provide cannot be verified;
• You do not provide the documentation we require within a particular timeframe, which we may determine from time to time;
• We believe that you are unlikely to be suitable for a mortgage product that we can provide;
• We have reason to believe that information you have provided to us is inaccurate or misleading;
• We have reason to believe that you have made a high volume of applications and/or have repeatedly applied and withdrawn these applications;
• You fail our Know Your Customer (KYC), Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorist Financing (CTF) due diligence processes;
• The application appears to be for purposes that do not fit within the scope of our service (including as set out in these terms);
• The application is for an address outside of England and Wales.

If we are unable process your application, we will contact you at the earliest possible opportunity to inform you.

You agree that we may act on your behalf in liaising with any third parties involved in the mortgage application process.

You may withdraw your mortgage application at any time before your mortgage has been entered into by contacting us via your customer dashboard on our website. You can also call our help desk on 03301741282 or email us at customercare@generationhome.com

Please note any non-refundable fees already paid by you may not be refunded if you cancel an application.

‍

Instructions and termination

Normally, we can accept instructions either verbally or in writing when you complete the relevant application form and sign the appropriate declaration. Where you have a right to cancel, we will notify you of this in writing. These Terms of Business can be terminated at any time by either side in writing, without prior notice and without penalty. This will be effective from the date that any notification is received. However, if transactions already initiated remain outstanding, the notification will only be valid once these transactions have been completed. There is no right to cancellation once the property purchase has completed and or the funds have been drawn. You will have the right to repay the loan (an early repayment charge may be applicable).

• Any information which you give us may be disclosed to selected third parties or group companies for the purpose of administration as permitted by law, as part of our legitimate interests, or as per our contract with you.
• You have consent to disclose any other applicant(s) personal details to us.
