Firstly, you need to fill out our Fact Find to get an idea of your current personal and financial situation. Next, our team will pass over this information to your dedicated Mortgage Advisor in Cambridge, and they will keep in touch to schedule your free mortgage consultation. You will get asked a series of questions to help build up a profile; this will help them pick out a mortgage deal tailored to you.
Secondly, once the consultation is over, a credit check will carry out, and this will help you obtain an Agreement in Principle. Granted, if you are okay with everything and happy to proceed, we will then ask for some documentation to help strengthen your application.
Lastly, with your Agreement in Principle, submitted evidential documentation and a comprehensive mortgage offer that you’re happy to continue with, you can move onto the last stage – mortgage application submission!
The time scale can alter depending on the Lender but on average, an Agreement in Principle will likely last around 30-90 days.
