Applying for a mortgage or remortgaging with us is simple. First, you'll need a Decision in Principle (sometimes called an Agreement in Principle), and then you can apply for your mortgage.
Why get a Decision in Principle?
It'll give you a good idea of the amount you may be able to borrow
It's quick and easy
It won't impact your credit score
Step 1: Prepare your details
Here's an idea of what you'll need to get ready:
- income details
- employment details
- outgoings
We'll let you know exactly what you'll need during the mortgage application process.
Think carefully before securing other debts against your home.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
Step 2: Get a Decision in Principle
Before you apply, you should make sure that:
- you're a UK resident
- you're aged 18 or over
- you're not looking for a buy-to-let mortgage
- your income is only received in GBP
- the mortgage is for your main residence and you're not looking to borrow more for your current property
- you're not a member of the armed forces
- you're not purchasing through a government scheme, such as Help to Buy
If you're looking for a buy-to-let mortgage, or you don't meet all of the above criteria get your Decision in Principle here.
