Authorisations
Firms will need to apply for mortgage permissions (in addition to other credit permissions they may hold)
We are reviewing the application process with the aim of making it easier for firms to apply for multiple permissions
Timetable is tight as there are no ‘transitionals’ for firms meaning firms must have mortgage permissions to conduct 2C business post 21 March 2016

Firms
Firms with mortgage permissions will cover 2C so may not need to apply
Firms without mortgage permissions can start preparing by:
Planning now
Looking at the application for first charge home finance providers to get an idea of the documents that need to be supplied
Reviewing current policies and procedures, especially now the consultation paper has been published
Prepare to submit applications in Q2 2015
