Summary

Barclays has changed several England and Wales answers: a UK photo driving licence (not a paper one) is now the List B ID document, the coach house flat criteria have moved from the flying freehold answer to the freehold flats answer, and leases of 70 to 85 years no longer need referring. Buy-to-let consent-to-let and transfer of equity requests now go only to the Leicester address, with the Leeds option removed.

Check the lender’s current requirements before you rely on this summary.
