M-Powered is branding itself as the Home of the One Day Mortgage - but is it possible to get a mortgage agreed in a day?

Is it really possible to get a mortgage offer in a day? or a week?

Yes, getting a mortgage offer in a day—and more commonly within a week or two—is possible. Still, super fast mortgage offers heavily rely on a few key factors, including the application's complexity, the lender's risk level and an automated property valuation.

M-Powered is branding itself as the Home of the One Day Mortgage

M-Powered has built the "Home of the One Day Mortgage" system, which says it gives 96% of lending decisions within 24 hours once fully packaged applications are submitted.

Trinity Financial's brokers regularly tell surprised and happy clients that their mortgage offer has been produced in a day. However, these offers tend to come from the same lenders, like Barclays for Intermediaries and Nationwide for Intermediaries. 

Getting a Mortgage Offer in a Day

This is uncommon but possible with specialist lenders, mainly big high street banks, and building societies.

They tend to be for borrowers with:

  • Very simple applications (e.g., remortgaging with the same lender, low loan-to-value, strong income). However, we have recently had one-day first-time buyer mortgages agreed.
  • Pre-qualified clients with all documents ready so they can be submitted once an agreement in principle is agreed. 
  • Automated valuation models (AVMs) instead of physical surveys.

Getting a Mortgage Offer in a Week

You’re using a broker, like Trinity Financial, who knows the lenders and their acceptance criteria well

  • All required documents, including payslips and (company info, director ID, accounts, SA302s, etc.)
  • A desktop or automated valuation is accepted when a computer program assesses the property rather than a proper valuer.
  • You’re borrowing at a conservative LTV (e.g. under 65%).
