You’ll need a Decision in Principle first 

Before you apply for a mortgage, you’ll need to get a Decision in Principle (DIP). 

A Decision in Principle lasts for 30 days. After this, you’ll need to renew it.

If you have a DIP, you can continue to your full mortgage application. Please read the important information on this page before you apply.

Conveyancing
When you apply for a mortgage or a remortgage, you need to appoint a conveyancer. These are solicitors who can act on your behalf when you take out a mortgage. You can complete your application form without one. If you need help you can use our conveyancing service.
What happens next with your application
We’ll do what we can to get you a formal mortgage offer quickly. 

Here are a few ways you can help speed things up.
Pay any outstanding fees as soon as you can. The earlier we receive your valuation fee the quicker we can get started
We may ask for references or for you to verify your identity. We won’t be able to continue with your application until we hear from you.  
As part of your application, we’ll complete a credit search. This will leave a record on your credit file. 
You can find out more about credit checks by visiting Equifax.
