Submitting an NQP application

After obtaining your client’s NQP certificates, you’ll need to check affordability.


Our current affordability calculator won’t calculate the NQP’s 5.5x Loan to Income feature, so please contact your local BDM to make the calculation for you.


Important: MSO will automatically decline the case. Contact your local BDM who will decline appeal your case to progress it.
