What is a lending decision?

Before a full application, you'll need to get a quick lending decision - where we'll tell you if we can offer you a mortgage and exactly how much you’re able to borrow.

  • It takes just 10 minutes

    With some details from you we’ll tell you whether we can lend to you and how much.

  • It won't affect your credit rating

    Our checks will not appear on your credit file at this stage of the application.

  • It lasts for 30 days

    If you need more time, you can easily retrieve your details and resubmit your lending decision for reapproval.

How much could I borrow?

It helps at this stage to have an idea of how much you would be able to borrow for your mortgage.

Can I afford it?

We also have a repayment calculator which will give an estimated monthly repayment figure for the amount you want to borrow.
