Abbey for Intermediaries (AfI) has made improvements to its online offering, including the introduction of an online mortgage application amendment form.

This will allow intermediaries to enter simple changes to an existing purchase or remortgage application and submit these by email, rather than having to log in and use the ‘amend FMA’ facility. The changes that can now be made include change of purchase price, change of loan amount and change of product.

A new rental income form will act as a calculator, to help intermediaries work out whether AfI will consider any background buy-to-let properties to be self-financing for affordability purposes. Intermediaries can save this form as a PDF for their files and then fax it to AfI.

It has alsp introduced a new A-Z toolbar for lending criteria and intermediaries can now save the PDFs they use most often under ‘My favourites’.

Alan Mathewson, managing director of Abbey for Intermediaries, said: “We want to make it even easier for intermediaries to place their business with us and the online enhancements we have made do just that
