What is pre-approval?
This is a crucial step to understand.
AI summary
Mortgage pre-approval is the maximum amount a bank will lend you based on your earnings and savings, giving you a clear budget for house hunting. It provides confidence but isn't a final guarantee, as it can change if your financial situation does.
Banks understand your spending habits will adjust after you get a mortgage, so don't worry about current expenses. They are more concerned with poor financial management, like multiple credit cards or insufficient funds fees. A mortgage adviser can help present your application effectively.
