Get a Decision in Principle
A Decision in Principle (DiP) is an accurate indication of your borrowing potential, and is a useful marker for estate agents when you're viewing properties.
The DiP is not binding – it's not a guarantee that we will lend to you, nor does it mean you must borrow from us. It helps you to understand your borrowing potential based on what you tell us and our security checks, including a soft credit check.
We'll need to make an enquiry against your credit history, however, this is not a full credit check and won't appear on your credit file.
