NATWEST Morgage in Principle VIA Broker
Options

Hello, bit confused.
My broker tried for an agreement in principle, it took about 3 days, he just phoned and said they need to submit a full application and Natwest need my card to take £1 out.
thinking about this now, I am confused, should I not have had an agreement in principle first. Broker said they were told to submit an app...
also I thought Natwest took valuation fees when app is started, any ideas what the £1 is for

Have you not been in the UK very long?
The £1 is just an ID check. They refund the £1.I am a Mortgage AdviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a mortgage adviser, so you need to take my word for it.

The decision was "refer" which means they will only work on a full application. You have to supply card details and accept the £1 debit for card verification to be able to continue...I am a mortgage broker.
