Please use a paper application form only in the following scenarios

Residential

• Porting a product.
• All right to buy (RTB) applications.

Buy-to-let

• Porting a product.

If the above scenarios apply, follow these steps:

1. Download a copy of the residential paper application form or the buy-to-let paper application form.
2. For residential applications you must complete an affordability calculation for your clients. Nottingham Building Society assesses an applicant's borrowing ability using an affordability test based on their income, commitments and spending. This will confirm the maximum amount we can lend. Save the affordability calculation, as you’ll need to revisit it at a later stage.
3. You can email your completed paper application forms to mortgage.processing@thenottingham.com. Please include all supporting documents (see the list below) and the booking and valuation fee (if applicable). You can also post your paper application to:
   
   Nottingham Building Society
   Nottingham House
   3 Fulforth Street
   Nottingham
   NG1 3DL.
   
   
4. Once received, our lending team will assess your application. They’ll contact you with the name and details of the underwriter for your case and any added requirements. They’ll provide a 10-digit mortgage account number. You need to add it to your saved affordability calculation and submit it so we can continue assessing the case.
