Applying for a mortgage during the Coronavirus pandemic
As of 26th August 2021 we have removed Additional Requirements Document.

UPDATE 6/01/2021
In line with government guidelines, please ensure the property is vacant 30 minutes before
the valuer arrives.
UPDATE 10/11/2020
All HMO/MUB properties MUST have an estate agent/landlord present at inspection. This is due to valuers having to abort appointments as all tenants haven’t been removed from the property prior to inspection.
Physical valuations – 5th November 2020
Physical valuations will be unaffected by the second national lockdown starting on 5th November and will continue where they are safe to do so and following the strict protocols that have been in place since they restarted in May.

As part of the initial risk assessment, the property occupier will be asked the following three questions;
If yes to any of the above the booking will not be progressed and the case will be put on hold until safe to complete. The booking clerk will set a call back for after the date when the isolation period has ended.
Moving forward the booking process will establish the following property inspection protocols;
The customer will be asked to contact Connells prior to the appointment date if health conditions in the household change between the initial booking conversation and the appointment date. The case will then be put on hold until safe to complete.
Pre inspection risk assessment
HMO and Multi Unit Freehold Blocks only (in addition to the above)
