📌An Agreement in Principle, AIP, as it’s often shortened to, also known as Decision in Principle or DIP, is a document, certificate or screenshot provided by a lender to show you have passed a credit check and are in a position to submit a full mortgage application once you have found a property.
📌It is not a guarantee of a mortgage and your application is still required to be fully submitted and approved by the lender’s underwriting team but is the first step you need to pass when applying for a mortgage.
📌AIPs are valid for anywhere between one and six months depending on the lender you are using. If it expires a new agreement in principle will need to be submitted in order to show you have still passed the initial credit check.
