An offer in principle (mortgage in principle / decision in principle / agreement in principle) is a preliminary decision by the lender that indicates how much they would be willing to lend based on the initial set of facts that we present to them. This means it is not a formal offer and you are not able to complete a purchase or a remortgage with just a decision in principle.
Key Facts:
- Indicative quote on what you can borrow
- Often a soft foot print on your credit file
- Used to understand and illustrate how much you can borrow
- Demonstrates the buyer to be a serious buyer and financially capable
- Helps speed up the mortgage process when proceeding
Simply contact The Mortgage Broker and one of our specialist advisers will gather the information from you and search all our Lenders criteria.
