2. Firm name and address

3. Telephone number
5. Number of partners
The Society may use your nominated solicitor to act in the mortgage transaction where those solicitors
have a minimum of 2 SRA approved managers.
If you wish to use a solicitor who does not meet the criteria the Society will instruct a firm to act on our behalf.
You will be responsible for the payment of fees and disbursements relating to this separate representation.
Section 13 – Property
valuation
A Valuer will be instructed to inspect the property and and will carry out a standard valuation and will
make a report to enable the Society to determine the value of the property for mortgage purposes.
Where an internal inspection is conducted you will be given a copy of the Valuer’s report but it is
emphasised that the report is not a structural survey.
Standard Valuation: a basic check on the property that won’t necessarily highlight areas that may
cause concern. This is not a structural survey and is a report to enable the Society to determine the
value of the property. The report is carried out on behalf of the Society alone and although we will
provide you with a copy for information, you should not rely on it in your decision to purchase the
property and no responsibility is implied or accepted by the Society.
No responsibility is implied or accepted by the Society or the Valuer in respect of the condition or value
of the property. We strongly recommend that you arrange a more comprehensive inspection for your
own protection, as there may be defects in the property which such an inspection would reveal. The
Valuer whom the Society instructs may be prepared to undertake this for you.
Only the Standard Valuation is covered by the valuation fee charged by the Society. The current fee
scale for Standard Valuations is available on our web site.
Please tick one of the boxes below to indicate if you require an additional survey report to be carried
out with the Standard Valuation.
The Valuer will contact you directly to advise of the cost if you have chosen an additional report and
make appropriate arrangements for you.
RICS Home Buyer Report: This Report will give you information on the condition of your property
and advice to your Solicitor, plus a market valuation and insurance reinstatement cost. There will
also be a dedicated section to provide advice on repairs and ongoing maintenance requirements.
Structural survey: This report gives you a comprehensive structural report and property inspection
outlining all the potential problems with the property, a description of all the defects, a list of
repair options and details of any serious and dangerous risks. This report is particularly good for
older and period properties.
For Self Build / Development Valuation, please see the Product Guide on our website.

I have already arranged my own
buildings and contents cover
I have already arranged my
insurance with my independent
mortgage broker
If you have already arranged
alternative insurance cover please
supply the following information:
Name of insurer
Policy number
Renewal date
Saffron Building Society requires that you have adequate Buildings Insurance Cover in place
at exchange of contracts (if a new purchase) or on or before completion of your mortgage if a
remortgage. You will be required to sign an Insurance Declaration, which will be supplied to you by
your Solicitor.
Deciding who you want to protect your property and its contents is an important decision and the
Society feels that you should be able to select the level of cover needed to meet your requirements.
In all cases, I/we understand and agree to accept sole responsibility for the choice of insurer, the
sum insured, the extent of cover and the financial consequences of any terms, conditions or excesses
imposed.
We understand and agree to:
1. Ensure the sum insured is not less than the rebuilding figure given in the valuation report and is
index-linked annually.
2. Ensure that the cover provided by the policy includes financial protection against loss or damage

You can use more than one type of repayment vehicle in your plan to repay the loan. You will be required to provide evidence in

Saffron Building Society Mortgage Application Form
Notes:
In assessing your repayment strategy the Society IS NOT providing advice on your repayment strategy or making any guarantee
that your strategy will be sufficient to repay the outstanding debt at the end of the mortgage term.
All beneficial owners of property, equity, assets or investments being used as a repayment vehicle are required to be named
parties to this mortgage.
The following ARE NOT acceptable as a repayment strategy for a mortgage debt with the Society:
An expected inheritance
An expectation that the property value will increase
Stocks & Shares/ISAs/Unit Trusts/Investment bonds/Open Ended Investment Companies
Expected Bonus
Cash Savings
Sale of personal non-real estate assets
Any speculative repayment strategy
You should review your repayment strategy regularly during the term of the mortgage to make sure it retains the potential to
repay the debt.
As a responsible lender, the Society may from time to time ask you to provide information about the repayment strategy you have
in place to repay the mortgage debt.
If you are unable to satisfy us that the repayment strategy remains on track to repay the outstanding balance on the mortgage,
we may discuss with you the transfer of some or all of the mortgage onto a capital and interest repayment basis.
It is your responsibility to ensure you have sufficient funds to repay the outstanding balance at the end of the mortgage term. If
you are unable to do so, your property may be repossessed and sold to repay the outstanding balance.
The Society will periodically review repayment strategy criteria and our list of acceptable strategies is subject to change.
Future requests for additional borrowing or other mortgage services may be subject to the provision by you of suitable evidence
of repayment strategies that meet the prevailing criteria.
If you require more space please continue on the ‘Other Information’ page following this page.
Are you confident that you will be able to afford to fund your repayment strategy throughout the term of the mortgage?

Saffron Building Society Mortgage Application Form
To be signed by all applicants
By applying for a mortgage I confirm that I understand and affirm the following statements:
1. Applications and Representations
The Society reserves the right to reject my application, or withdraw any offer of
mortgage, without giving any reason. No person (other than an employee of the
Society) is empowered to make any representations or give any undertaking, on behalf
of the Society in relation to the mortgage applied for, and the Society shall not be
liable for any such representations or undertakings.
2. Valuation
The Society will provide me for information only with a copy of the Mortgage
Valuation Report. The Society and the Valuer accept no responsibility to me for the
accuracy of the Mortgage Valuation Report. If advice about the structural condition of
the property is required an appropriate report must be obtained separately by me.
3. Intermediaries
I agree that if a third-party intermediary submitted this application on my behalf the
Society may liaise with this third-party about any matters connected with my mortgage
application and my mortgage, including any complaint about my mortgage application
or mortgage, unless otherwise instructed by me.
4. Assignment
The Society may, without notice or consideration, transfer or assign, either in whole
or in part, any loan, mortgage or policies of life assurance or other security made in
connection with this mortgage application to any company, person, or body. Any such
transfer will not affect my guarantees.
5. KFI
That, if this application is for a Regulated Mortgage Contract, I have seen, read and
understood a copy of the Key Facts Illustration (KFI) applicable to this mortgage
application.
6. Fees
I agree that where it is indicated in the KFI or Mortgage Offer that a fee is not
refundable, I am aware of this.
7. Credit Reference Agencies
Credit reference agencies collate information about how individuals manage the
money they borrow from lenders, whether it be a mortgage, personal loan, credit card,
overdraft or any other type of loan.
When making decisions the Society may carry out searches of my personal information
with one or more licensed credit reference agencies that will retain a record of the
search that may be seen by other organisations making searches of the information
held with these agencies. The Society may also make further searches during the term
of the agreement to assist in managing my mortgage account.
Information held about me and the account by credit reference agencies may already
be linked or “associated” to records relating to me, a partner, or anyone else whom I
may be financially “associatedwith. My ability to obtain credit may be influenced by
the records held by credit reference agencies about me, or any person associated to me
in this way.
8. Fraud Prevention Agencies
The Society may also search and record my details with fraud prevention agencies. If
false or inaccurate information is provided by me and fraud is identified, details will
be passed to fraud prevention agencies and may be shared with other organisations
making searches of the information held with these agencies. Law enforcement
agencies may access and use this information.
The Society, credit reference agencies, and fraud prevention agencies may use the
records for statistical analysis about credit applications and about insurance and fraud.
9. Credit Scoring
The Society may use a credit scoring or other automated decision-making system when
assessing my application.
10. Credit Products
The Society and other organisations may also use this information to prevent fraud and
money laundering for example, but not limited to, by:
i. checking details on applications for credit and credit-related or other facilities
ii. managing credit and credit-related accounts or facilities
iii. recovering debt
iv. checking details on proposals and claims for all types of insurance
v. checking details of job applicants and employees
vi. checking existing open accounts of other lenders to prevent and/or
detect fraud
If I do not provide relevant information the Society may not be able to offer me the
service I require. Information from this application and subsequent management of
the amount will be maintained on both the Societys accounting system and central
databases.
The Society may request additional information or confirmation of information
provided in my application.
The Society may apply to employers or other relevant third-parties for references in
respect of this application. In considering the application the Society will search my
records, including previous and subsequent names of parties to an account, at credit
reference agencies who will add details of the search and this application to my record.
The Society may undertake a search with a credit reference agency for the purposes of
verifying my identity. To do so, the agency may check the details I supply against my
particulars on any database (public or other) to which they have access. A record of the
search will be retained.
( Please write to The Financial Crime Team, Saffron Building Society, Saffron House, 1A Market
Street, Saffron Walden, Essex CB10 1HX if you want to receive details of the relevant fraud
prevention agencies. The Society and other organisations may access and use from other

Conditions. In addition, the guarantor will receive copy communications relating to the
mortgage account and its conduct. In signing this application I agree that information
may be disclosed to the guarantor in this way.
12. What the Society will use my information for

and my account is treated as private and confidential. The Society will hold and deal
with my personal data in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998 or successor
legislation.
The Society may use the information given in this application for credit assessment,
including credit scoring, making such enquiries and taking such references relating to

purpose of providing a service to me.

training and quality control to monitor compliance with any regulatory requirements
and to establish facts.
A copy of any personal data held by the Society can be made available to me on
payment of a fee. I have a legal right to see these details. If any data is shown to be
inaccurate it will be corrected without delay.

13. Marketing
If I choose, the Society may also use and share information including contact details,
information contained in this application and of any services it provides with other
members of its group of companies or with carefully selected partners so that I may
be kept informed of news and marketing initiatives including mortgages, savings and
investments, life products, loans, and credit cards, general insurance and financial
planning services, and of competitions or offers that may be of interest to me. The
Society will use various marketing methods in this respect.
I indicate that I DO NOT wish to receive such information by ticking the appropriate
box: by
email by post by telephone
I note that I may withdraw my consent at any time by writing to Mortgage Services,
Saffron Building Society, Saffron House, 1A Market Street, Saffron Walden, Essex CB10

14. Association
Another person’s records will be “associated” with mine by the Society when:
i. There is a joint application
ii. I advise The Society of a financial association with another person
iii. If the credit reference agencies have existing linked or associated records
This “association” will link records at the credit reference agencies and may be taken
into account in any future credit applications by the relevant individuals. This shall
continue until one person applies to the credit reference agencies and is successful in
filing a “disassociation”.
Therefore I MUST ensure when making a joint application or advising the Society of
some other financial association that I am entitled to:
i. Disclose information about joint applicants and anyone referred to by me
ii. Authorise the Society to search, link or record information at credit reference
agencies about me and anyone referred to by me.
15. Disclosure
On a monthly basis the Society may give credit reference agencies details about
payments I make and the status of my account to help the Society and other lenders
make credit decisions about me (and the people associated with me) in the future.
If I exceed agreed limits and the amount owed is not in dispute and I fail to make
satisfactory repayment proposals following formal demand, the Society may register
this with credit reference agencies.
