Nationwide DIP --> Full Application amount

Hi there,

We are FTBs using Nationwide's Save to Buy account/mortgage.

I know that Nationwide credit check at DIP stage and I have a DIP from NW for a 95% LTV at £148,000

However the house we have decided to put an offer (Scotland) in for have accepted an offer of £135,500.

Do you think this will give us any difficulties with the loan amount being different between the DIP and full application? Will we need a new DIP or simply submit the full application?

Any thoughts appreciated...

    A DIP is for "upto" that amount.

    A lower amount will not be a problem.

    Thanks KingStreet...

    I assumed that would be the case but other people were saying another DIP would be needed...

    Cheers again :-)

    Nationwide only carries out another credit search if the full application is submitted after the expiry of the DIP, even if the amount is higher than the DIP.

    When you do the DIP, it tells you what the maximum borrowing is, but only shows the actual amount requested, on the certificate.

    I did wonder as the screen showed a limit of £167,000 but the certificate was for the house price indicated at the time.

    Very interesting actually!

    The amount on the DIP cert is the requested mortgage amount, not the property purchase price.

    It reads;-
    Decision in Principle - ACCEPT

    This is based on a loan of £ 157,500.00 at 93.75% loan to value
    17 December 2013

    Case ID - M562000000

    We are pleased to confirm that, following a credit search and credit score, your application has been approved in principle.

    Sorry, my poor use of language...by house price I meant mortgage amount (I.e. 95% of the price in my case).

    That is it showed the 95% value as opposed to the max limit as you had previously advised :-)
