Halifax mortgage offer in principle

Options
I've just phoned up Halifax and received an offer in principle. Does anyone what the chances are of it failing from here and what could influence it. The women on the phone said my credit score was good enough so there should not be a problem

    If you ahve passed the credit check, its based on a valuation of the property and whether you pass an affordability check (ie more is coming in than is going out and there is some money left over).
