In addition, Barclays has announced that it has fully introduced the Digital (E-Sign) mortgage deed for remortgage applications across its complete panel of solicitors.

This means eligible clients will no longer have to get their signatures witnessed or risk their documents being lost in the post. They will be able to log in and sign their deed at any time, from anywhere, meaning their application is likely to move along more quickly.

Remortgage clients may be eligible if:

  • Separate mobile numbers are provided in the application for each applicant
  • There are no name changes
  • They are repaying an existing mortgage (not an unencumbered property)
