    Get an Agreement in Principle.

    What is an Agreement in Principle? It will tell you how much we could lend you based on your income, property value, deposit amount and mortgage term.

    • It takes less than 10 minutes online
    • It gives you a personalised lending indication
    • It has no affect on your credit score
    • It can be useful for viewing and making an offer on a property.

Already applied for a mortgage and need your offer extended?

If you’ve had a mortgage offer with us approved and can't complete within the agreed timescale, we're here to help. You can apply to extend your mortgage offer by 1 month to give you extra time to complete buying your new property or re-mortgaging your existing property. Find out more

If you have applied for your mortgage with NatWest via a Broker/Intermediary - please contact them to discuss extending your mortgage offer.

By requesting an extension to your mortgage offer you are acting on behalf of all parties named on the mortgage.
