Agreement in Principle

Let's get started...

To find out how much you could borrow, please answer a few questions. This will take about 10 minutes, so let's get started.

Before we start...

It will help if you have the following documents handy:

Payslips to work out your income
Bank statements and loan agreements to work out your monthly expenses

We'll ask about the property, your income and expenditure and whether you have any dependants. If you're applying for a joint mortgage, we'll need to know the same details about all the people who are applying.

If you're applying for a buy to let property, we'll also ask about any other properties you own.

Remember, a mortgage Agreement in Principle provides you with a personalised indication of how much we could lend to you, it is not a commitment to lend.

Getting an Agreement in Principle won't affect your credit score

We need to do a “soft credit check”, but don’t worry, this won’t affect your credit score.

What's the difference between a soft and full credit check?

A soft credit check is just an initial look at your financial situation. These soft credit searches aren’t visible to other companies, so they won't affect your credit score now or in the future. Only you and the lender can see the results and you can have multiple soft credit searches without worrying about your credit score.

A full credit check is performed when a lender makes a full analysis of your credit history. This type of check will be visible on your credit report so any company will be able to see that you've applied for credit.

Representative example

Fixed rate

A mortgage of £131,748 payable over 25 years, initially on a fixed rate for 5 years at 2.01% and then our variable rate of 3.59% for the remaining 20 years would require 60 monthly payments of £559.06 and 240 monthly payments of £645.44.

The total amount payable would be £189,681.87 made up of the loan amount of £131,748 plus interest of £57,933.87. A product fee of £995, a valuation fee of £248 and a CHAPS fee of £30 are also payable.

The overall cost for comparison is 3.1% APRC representative.

Tracker rate

A mortgage of £130,995 payable over 20 years, initially on a tracker rate for 2 years at 1.97% below the NatWest base rate and then our variable rate of 3.59% for the remaining 18 years would require 24 monthly payments of £639.37 and 216 monthly payments of £753.30.

The total amount payable would be £179,286.65 made up of the loan amount £130,995 plus interest of £48,291.65. A product fee of £995, a valuation fee of £248 and a CHAPS fee of £30 are also payable.

The overall cost for comparison is 3.3% APRC representative.
