How far in advance can I reserve a mortgage deal?

Just curious to know if there is an industry standard or does each lender vary?

Thanks as usual

    Is it for a purchase or a remortgage and do you know what lender you're looknig at?

    Generally speaking 3-6 months (depening on the lender)

    Start looking to make an application around October or so and you should be fine

    A few of the lenders have reduced their remortgage offers to 3 months but Woolwich still offer 6 months on remortgage offers

    The fee required to reserve a given product can be a determining factor when choosing.
