Think of pre-approval as a written confirmation from a lender that they're willing to loan you a certain amount of money to buy a property, provided you meet certain conditions.
Keep in mind not all pre-approvals are created equal. Some are system-generated and won't factor in your full situation. Others will be based on a more complete assessment – and therefore a better reflection of how likely you are to secure formal approval.
Here's why you might want to secure pre-approval before you make an offer on a property:
Know your borrowing capacity: Get a clear idea of the amount you can borrow, so you can narrow down your property search.
Negotiating power: Show the seller you're a serious buyer who has already been assessed by a lender.
Avoid delays: Provide the lender with most of the info they need to assess your loan upfront, to make the formal approval process more seamless.
Peace of mind: Is there anything worth more than certainty? Pre-approval gives you a clearer view of your options.
