The benefits of pre-approval

Gives you confidence with your borrowing capacity. Pre-approval allows you to go into the search for your new home prepared and knowing exactly how much you are able to afford. When you meet with your broker they will help you work out your repayments so that you know you can sustain the financial side of things and be comfortable in your new home. This means you can start house-hunting with a firm budget and peace of mind!

Gives you a competitive edge over other buyers. A pre-approval may put you in a stronger negotiating position than other potential buyers who do not yet have pre-approval.

Lasts anywhere from 60-90 days. A pre-approval gives you plenty of time to look for a property because it typically lasts anywhere from 60-90 days. If by chance you can’t find a suitable property within this time, you can re-apply easily with your broker.
