04/04/2008 - Tips for using Your Virtual Office

Your Virtual Office enables you to submit full online applications. Here are some useful tips for using our award winning service:

 

• Case updates
From the point that the AIP or application is submitted, you can obtain full updates via virtual office. Case status is clearly displayed in the table at the bottom of the page immediately following log on. This is fully updated with progress including:
When the initial assessment has commenced
Assessment completed
Valuation received
Offer
Funds released
Completion
• Secure payment online
You can now pay valuation fees online through the virtual office online payment facility. Please note we will only progress your application once we have received your valuation fee.
• No client signature until offer
There's no longer a need to print the form for your customer to sign. The only signature you need from your client is on their mortgage offer. Confirm online your client's acceptance - a copy will be sent to them for reference with their offer.
• Key to case tracking status

Data is missing before application can be submitted for decision OR you may have inadvertently saved rather than submitted.
