No. An agreement in principle doesn't usually secure a rate.
A full application is needed for that in most cases.I am a mortgage broker. You should note that this site doesn't check my status as a Mortgage Adviser, so you need to take my word for it.

@1hu As Kingstreet said, for the vast majority of mainstream lenders, you secure a rate only when a full application is submitted.
A notable exception to that is Nationwide which allows (at least for broker apps, not sure about direct) reserving a product at DIP/AIP stage, for 90 days during which period you must have submitted a full application and got an offer.1hu said:if i apply now for a mortgage certificate will the lender honour the rate if mortgage rates go up ?

Dont skipton honour a product for a week after it has been pulled if you have an illustration? There is something in the back of my mind, but I could be wrong.
