Full app as we have had a offer accepted on a property.
Is it best to get a decision in principle first?0 -
Yes probably best. But then i would have said it was probably best before you made the offer. Have you checked how much you can borrow beforehand?Trainee Building Surveyor

The lender needs a surveyor to inspect the property, so application to offer normally takes upto two weeks, unless there are other issues, then it can take longer.I am a mortgage broker.
