Also to know is, can a lender withdraw a mortgage offer after exchange?
The reality though is that the mortgage lender can withdraw their mortgage offer after exchange of contracts and all the way up until completion leaving you to bear the costs of failing to complete.
Beside above, why would a mortgage offer be withdrawn?
Your property is overpriced. After a mortgage offer has been given to you. A mortgage lender will then carry on further checks on the property. In person, mortgage valuations could cause a mortgage offer to be withdrawn as the property valuation may come back at significantly lower than what you are paying for it.
If you need to cancel a pending mortgage application, call your loan officer or broker immediately. In most cases, you have a three-day window to cancel the application and recover any paid fees. Typically, you can get refunds of certain fees, such as credit check and appraisal fees.
