Definition
A conditional indication from a mortgage lender of how much they may be willing to lend you, based on a soft credit check. Also called a Decision in Principle (DIP) or Mortgage in Principle (MIP). Not a guarantee of a mortgage offer — the lender will carry out full checks before making a formal offer.
