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 expect your spending habits to change with a mortgage, so don't worry about recent social spending. They are more concerned with poor financial management, like missed payments. A mortgage adviser can help present your case effectively.
