Can I sort out a mortgage before finding my new home?
Yes you can. You can get an “agreement in principle” without actually having a property in mind. This sort of agreement comes with a time limit, but when you are ready does allow you to go house hunting with the confidence that you should have your mortgage.
Having obtained an agreement in principle means you have passed a credit score and, subject to all additional supporting information and documents checking out, you will know you should get your mortgage and how much you can borrow.
And then, when you have found your dream property, simply ask your mortgage advisor to convert your agreement in principle into a full mortgage application.
McCoy Mortgages is happy to give advice and apply for decisions in principle on behalf of both existing and new clients at no charge.
