Conditional Loan Approval

Getting a loan for buying a house can be challenging and intimidating, especially since its result will directly affect your living conditions, dwelling type, sometimes even your new location, and other life aspects.

However, there are numerous instances when a loan is necessary, so you will need to ensure that you understand how it works, what the implications are, and what you need to get one.

In this article, we will tell you what to expect from conditional loan approval, so read on and plan your next move with more information on hand.


What Is a Conditional Loan Approval?

Approval for a conditional loan means that the underwriter is satisfied with the financial documentation you have provided almost entirely, and you meet most of the criteria for being granted a loan or mortgage. The key factor is that there are conditions that are currently pending, and you will get financing when these conditions are met.

Before those conditions are met, your loan is only pre-approved. You will want to move as fast as possible by providing the extra information requested by the lender and get your conditional loan approval, as being late with it can potentially cost you a good deal.

If the loan you have applied for is, indeed, meant to fund a new home purchase, you can also consult your realtor and inform them about the process of getting your approval. The seller will want to know how quickly you would be able to have your loan approved, and will prefer that to a pre-approval, as you already expect.

Most Common Conditions for Getting Your Loan Approved

Examples of the most common conditions you would have to meet for getting a loan include:

Types of Loans You Can Apply for

Loans are also different, and a good mortgage agent will be able to tell you which financial product is your best fit. Depending on the type of loan you get, there are different kinds of regulations, laws, and conditions for approval.

Here are some examples of types of loans you can consider for your home buying:

“This review is about Mark and Darci Richardson from CSMC Mortage in Simi Valley. This team is the BEST! For the past 12 years our home was "underwater" due to the "crash" in 2007, and unable to do anything with the mortgage except pay it. These two kept on top of things and finally the house qualified to REFI. We just completed everything and it closed last week... and they saved us over $900 a month!! That's a huge savings for a couple of senior citizens! We are SO happy now and finally can breathe. Thanks to Mark and Darci and CSMC Mortgage for following through, jumping through all the hoops necessary and helping us out! I can't recommend them more... they are the BEST!!!”
