Mortgage timescales

Hi.

If i applied for a mortgage via a broker- how long does any offer last?

I am applying for Right to Buy- so dont know whether I should be applying for a mortgage before or after I submit the RTB forms?

    You cant apply for a mortgage until you know how much you are buying for.

    You will need to do the RTB paperwork first in order to find out the value and purchase price.
