To upload documents on eMortgages select the case on the homepage you would like to upload the documents for. When on the Case Details screen, to the right of FMA is View Summary and Documents. Select that, scroll down and there is a section titled Documents. Under there you are able to select the type of document you are uploading and browse your computer to select the document you have already scanned on and saved locally on your computer. Once you have done that it can take a while to show as uploaded.
Once you have submitted your application on eMortgages you will be shown a list of supporting documents required specifically for your case under the heading 'Outstanding Items'. Only the documents shown on this list should be uploaded. Please do this as soon as possible as this will enable your case to be underwritten.

The first mortgage payment date occasionally causes confusion. The information below will help your client understand when the first payment will be taken.
Key points
- Skipton monthly mortgage payments are due in advance, not in arrears
- Funds for completion are sometimes released to the conveyancer a day before completion if the conveyancer requests it. We count the day the funds are released as completion for the purpose of charging interest (not the legal completion date of a purchase or a remortgage). The conveyancer should let your client know if they are requesting this
- Your clients' first Direct Debit payment will be due on the first day of the month following release of funds and will be taken shortly afterwards
- If release of funds takes place on the last day of the month, the first payment is due the following day
- Payments by Direct Debit will be taken on the third working day after the payment due date, but the money needs to be available in the account on the due date.
