If interest rates improve during an extended lock period, a client may float down once and it must be prior to closing. The prices available must be chosen from the 21, 30, or 45 day lock periods in the current market. If the float-down is exercised, the lock expiration date will be the sooner of the lock term selected at float-down or the original lock expiration date. Lock extensions after the float-down are subject to Gateway’s extension policy (Client Guide Ch. 3). Loan level price adjustments (LLPA) are based on the original lock date or the date the float-down is exercised.
Lock Fee & Agreement
An extended lock requires a lock fee to be submitted within 5 business days from the original lock date. The lock fee is 1.00% of the total loan amount at the time the loan is locked. The lock fee will be refunded on the date the loan is purchased by Gateway. Lock fees for denied loans will be refunded, provided the reason for denial is not caused by failure to provide requested documentation.
A copy of the executed extended lock agreement and a check for the lock fee must be sent by express mail, for tracking purposes, to:
