Product related fees

There is an arrangement fee of 1.25% of the loan amount that can be deducted from the mortgage amount or added to the amount borrowed.

If your client chooses to add the fee to their mortgage, they'll pay interest on the fee at the same rate as their mortgage.

Product incentives

Free standard valuation: We'll cover the cost of a standard mortgage valuation on a property valued up to £400,000, which is equivalent to a £350 contribution towards the cost of a standard valuation. Your client may choose to have a RICS Homebuyers Report, however they'll have to cover the difference in cost between a standard mortgage valuation and the RICS Homebuyers Report.

Legal fee cashback: Your clients will need to nominate their own Solicitor, but will receive £250 cashback from the Society towards their legal fee costs.

FAQs
  • Do you credit score?

    We don't credit score mortgage applications. All cases are underwritten on an individual basis by a real person. At decision in principle stage we'll complete a credit quotation and when a full application is submitted we'll carry out a full credit application that'll leave a footprint on your clients credit file.

  • Will you consider lending into retirement?

    Our Retirement Interest Only product range allows your client to use the sale of their property as their repayment strategy (provided they are receiving pension income and have a minimum of 40% equity in the property).

    In contrast to our standard later life lending products, our RIO mortgages have no fixed term, and can run until a life changing event occurs.

    If your client wishes to gift some equity to a family member, enjoy some holidays or give their home a face-lift with some home improvements, up to 25% of the property value can be released for these purposes.

    Joint applications for a RIO mortgage can be considered when both applicants are aged 55 or over, and can satisfy affordability checks individually.

    With our standard later life lending products, your clients can borrow up to their 95th birthday, meaning your clients can borrow into retirement or if they’re already retired.

    With our Standard Later Life products, if both applicants are retired but cannot prove affordability in sole name, applications will be considered where there is enough equity available to downsize to a two bedroom flat/house within 5 miles of the mortgage property.

    For more information please discuss your case with our Business Development Team by calling 0121 521 4000 or emailing newbusiness@thetipton.co.uk.

  • What are your service levels?

    We aim to provide you with a lending decision within 24 hours of receipt of a completed decision in principle.

    When we've received a fully packaged application we'll obtain any fees and instruct a valuation within one working day.

    As we underwrite each case individually timeframes can change due to complexity and the amount of involvement needed in each case. Your mortgage Case Officer will give you more information when your application has been passed over to our Mortgage Processers.

    On receipt of a fully packaged application we aim to get it to offer within 14 working days.

    We are unable to accept applications on properties located in Scotland, Northern Ireland or the Isle of Man.
