Mortgage Agreement in Principle in Leicester

A Mortgage Agreement in Principle or AIP is a written estimate from a mortgage lender

It does not tie you to a particular ‘mortgage deal’ but is simply providing you with an indication of how much money you can to borrow when you are looking to buy a new property. (It won’t affect your credit score. We only make checks once you make a full mortgage application). 

Having an AIP also provides with an indication of how much you can actually afford, helping you to decide which properties you can look at in your property search. 

With the ‘mortgage agreement in principle, you can then demonstrate to vendors and estate agents that you’re a creditworthy buyer. That you have passed the lenders credit score an (in theory), and obtain a mortgage.
