Obtaining a decision in principle for bad credit mortgage
Mortgage in principle simply refers to a written estimate from a mortgage lender, stating that you will be given a certain amount to borrow. When this is shown to estate agents and vendors, it makes them believe the individual is a serious buyer and can get a mortgage. If you are getting the mortgage with someone, the mortgage in principle will show how much you will be loaned on the joint application. If you are buying a property in UK, you will have to get an agreement in principle before you can submit a bid. Mortgage in principle shows sellers that you can afford the property you are interested in purchasing and even if you have a bad credit, the mortgage in principle will show a lender whether you can afford to repay the loan or not. Although this is offered in principle , the lender still reserves the right to turn down your application or change the details of the deal. If you spend a lot of time between getting the mortgage in principle and applying for a mortgage, you might end up getting a better deal due to changes in the interest rate. Mortgage in principle can also be called decision in principle, mortgage promise, agreement in principle, or approval in principle and it gives an idea of the size of the property you are eligible to apply for and also help search for properties within your budget.
