Had a meeting last night, went through everything. Said no point in obtaining a DIP yet as we will be able to access any deal? I wasn't expecting that to be honest - what if they are wrong? Or do advisors have such a good idea re incomes/expenditure that she can afford to be that confident.
thought please.

I dont get a DIP until the person is ready to make an application unless an estate agent insists on one to view properties.
A DIP usually involves a credit check and those that dont are not worth the paper they are printed on.
The best deal/lender today might not be tomorrow.

You've basically re-iterated what she said.

Agree, don't know what this craze for MIP is all about. If your case is uncomplicated and you have been open with the broker about everything then no reason to be concerned. Have you made an offer on a property yet? Can always request an MIP at that point if you really want.0

no haven't made any offer yet. Totally honest with advisor, she took copies of bank statements pay slips etc and went through all our bills and credit scores.0

Best bet is to get house hunting as interest rates are only going to go up so more chance of mortgages becoming less affordable for you in the future.
Apply for an MIP once you've found a house you are happy to offer on. That could take 1 week or 3 months.0 -

If course, if the margins are big enough.
Say that in theory stretching everything you could borrow £250k on your figures, but you are only asking for £150k.
Well then no problem. Even £200k. Above that yes they might want exact details.0 -

If it helps, I will re-re-iterate what she said, and re-iterate what ACG said.I am a Mortgage Broker
