Dreaming of owning your first home?  

Before you start searching for your perfect home, you need to know how much you can borrow. Our Mortgage Advisers are here to help you start your journey. 

A Decision in Principle (sometimes known as a Mortgage or Agreement in Principle) gives you an idea of how much you could borrow before you apply for a mortgage.

Why do I need a Decision in Principle?

  • It's the first step in buying, moving or remortgaging a home
  • You can find out how much you could borrow
  • Talking to us won't impact your credit score
  • It makes you a more attractive buyer (and could speed up the home buying process)
  • Shows the seller you're ready to progress
  • It's valid for up to 90 days
