Get an Approval in Principle today.
With an Approval in Principle (sometimes called an Decision in Principle), you can find out how much you can borrow with a mortgage from Leeds Building Society. It’s free and there’s no obligation to take out a mortgage with us afterwards.
By taking into account your income and outgoings, it gives you a good idea of the type of property you can afford. It’s also something estate agents sometimes ask for to show you’re serious about buying.
What do you need to get an Approval in Principle?
To help you complete everything as quickly as possible, you’ll find it useful to have the following to hand:

Implications of applying online
If you apply for a mortgage online you will not receive advice from Leeds Building Society. You will need to make your own choice about which mortgage is suitable for you and we will not assess the suitability of that mortgage to your needs and circumstances. You will not benefit from the protections offered by an advised service. This is called an execution only transaction. If you would like to receive advice call us on 03450 502 251.
