    It totally depends on the provider of the AIP.

    Don't forget that while an AIP is a useful guide as to whether or not you will get a mortgage, it is not an absolute guarantee of a mortgage.

    thanks for that - getting an AIP must be a fairly good indication that you will be accepted for a mortgage though isn't it? Also, even though you say that it totally depends on the provided of the AIP, what would a rough length of time be (from different people I've heard a number of different lengths of time from 6 weeks to 6 months!)

    cheers again

  • I wouldn't ahve though many do 6 months AIP. C&G 3 months. Abbey 90 days are a couple of examples.
