    Those of you who have done a full application with Halifax after MMR was introduces, what documents are they asking to see? Is it still just pay slips?
    I am going to apply through a broker this week, and as all of my documents are online I want to have all I need ready.

    Thank you

    Hey Claire my broker asked for 3 month's payslips, 1 month's bank statement, p60, proof of id and proof of address for both of us. I dont know if this is just my broker making sure he totally covers himself with anything they may ask for or if Halifax requested all of these! Good luck hun keep us updated!

    3 months payslips
    Info on credit agreements (cards, loans etc - I was asked info about the amount outstanding on my student loan, even thought it is deducted from my salary)
    I took my monthly budget planner with me also to show I'd given affordability some thought.

    To be fair, I didnt really notice that much difference than from when I went for an AIP/application last year..... apart from they have to read a script/statement to you.

    23/04/14 - Our mortgage application went in with Nationwide and today I have received emails confirming valuation is booked for 25/04/14.
