Mortgage in Principle (MiP)

A Mortgage in Principle (also known as an Agreement in Principle or Decision in Principle) is a statement from a lender that confirms, based on the financial information you've provided, that they would be willing to lend you a certain amount of money to buy a property. While it's not a formal mortgage offer, it gives you a clear idea of what you can afford and strengthens your position when making an offer on a property. To complete the RealTrust MiP check, you need to upload the MiP document from the lender, ensuring that the maximum lending amount is visible for review. If you do not have a MiP, but you do have a mortgage advisor who can confirm your ability to get a mortgage, this will earn you partial credit for this check. If you are a cash buyer, then indicate this during this check and you will get full credit.

Solicitor Instructed

Having a solicitor instructed means you have formally appointed a legal professional to represent you in the property transaction process. By instructing a solicitor early, you help avoid delays, demonstrate to all parties that you are a committed buyer or seller, and ensure that legal proceedings can begin as soon as an offer is accepted. It’s a vital step in the property journey, giving you peace of mind knowing that a qualified expert is managing your legal interests and guiding you through each stage of the transaction. The RealTrust Solicitor Check will ask for your solicitor's name and contact details, along with evidence that they have "funds on account" and are therefore ready to act immediately on your behalf.

Surveyor Committed

A comprehensive property survey provides essential assurance that the property's condition and value meet your expectations. Delays between having an offer accepted and instructing a surveyor can stall the entire process. The RealTrust Surveyor check involves a pre-authorization of funds, so that, upon offer acceptance, RealTrust can immediately instruct a surveyor on your behalf. This guarantees that a RICS-certified survey and property valuation are completed within five working days of your offer's acceptance. Additionally, RealTrust scours the market to secure the best deal for you while ensuring the fastest possible transaction.

Anti Money Laundering (AML)

Anti Money Laundering (AML) checks are a series of verifications that confirm your identity and the legitimacy of your funds in accordance with legal and regulatory standards. These checks are a mandatory part of the property transaction process and are designed to prevent fraud, financial crime, and the use of property transactions to disguise illicit activity. By successfully completing AML checks, you demonstrate transparency and compliance, reassuring all parties involved—solicitors, agents, and lenders—that the transaction can proceed without legal or regulatory concerns. RealTrust partners with Onfido to ensure that all AML procedures are conducted quickly and securely, using trusted systems to protect your personal data and support a smooth, compliant transaction.

Proof of Funds

The Proof of Funds check confirms that you possess the financial means not only for the property purchase but also for all associated costs, including stamp duty, solicitor fees, surveyor charges, and any other transaction-related expenses. It demonstrates to estate agents, sellers, and legal representatives that you are financially prepared and capable of meeting all obligations promptly. This assurance enhances the credibility of your offer and minimizes the likelihood of the transaction falling through due to financial issues. Whether your funds are derived from savings, investments, a property sale, or a gift, upload documentation showing these assets, and RealTrust will verify that these funds are sufficient to support your offer.

Chain Check

The Chain Check looks at whether you are chain-free or, if you need to sell a property, that you have your current property under offer. Your chain is one of the biggest uncertainties in the process, RealTrust checks this to make sure that it is de-risked as much as possible. If you do not need to sell a property to move, or you have accepted an offer, you are in a significantly stronger position than if you are still waiting to find a Buyer for your property. RealTrust will review your property's listing and speak to the listing agent to confirm the status of your chain.
