Step 02: Decision in Principle (DIP) issued

As part of the bridging loan application process we do an in-depth analysis of the client and their requirements and provide a decision in principle.

  • It is standard procedure to contact ‘Know Your Client’ searches (KYS’) before providing finance. Here, we take a look into your financial history to ensure that, should there be any potential issues, that we take look into finding a solution that works for you.
    Here, we often require documentation such as:

    • 3 Months personal bank statements
    • 3 Months business bank statements (if applicable)
    • Evidence of income (if loan is being serviced)
    • Application form
    • Statement of assets, liabilities, income & expenditure (SALIE)
    • Property portfolio schedule
    • Proof of residency
    • Proof of ID
  • This could be to clear any adverse credit you may have, for example.
  • A Decision In Principle, often referred to as a ‘DIP’, is a formal contact between a yourself and a lender that indicates how much the lender is willing to lend to you.
