Applying for an extension
Your clients can apply directly by visiting Barclays.co.uk where they can complete an application to request an extension.

• All applicants are aware of the fact that a new Credit Reference Agency check will be completed and we may ask for income proofs
• All applicants are aware of the need to inform us immediately should any change in circumstances occur after we have extended the offer
Managing these cases
• Where email addresses have been provided on the original mortgage or offer extension application, both you and your clients, will be informed by email when the request is being processed and once a decision is made
• If any additional information is required to support the processing of the application, either yourself or your clients, will be contacted through the usual communication channels
• When the application is agreed, a new offer will be provided with a new application reference, enabling you to monitor progress in the case tracking service within the Barclays Intermediary HUB
