1st Visit to mortgage broker

Hi,
Son is hoping to get mortgage for shared ownership. It is from a HA so no rent to pay just mortgage.
We are having a first visit to a mortgage broker - can anyone advise what to take with us - is it bank statements, proof of savings, payslips - anything else?
As we don't own bit new to all this!

    No rent to pay?

    Are you sure?

    All shared ownership is operated by HAs/RSLs and rent-free is normally only offered on a 75% share purchase these days.

    Copies of credit files
    Three months payslips
    Three months bank statements
    Evidence of deposit.

    It's a mortgage for a 50% share - states no rent to pay!

    Thanks for the list of things - had not thought about credit reports!
