No, a DIP is not a guarantee. Your full mortgage application will be subject to a more detailed assessment, including a property valuation and thorough affordability checks.
We use a soft credit check for our Decision in Principle, which doesn't leave a visible footprint on your credit record or affect your credit score.
Our Decision in Principle is typically valid for 90 days, giving you plenty of time to find your perfect property.
For the initial DIP, we only need the information you provide in our form. If you proceed to a full mortgage application, you'll need to provide supporting documentation.
