Translate a Mortgage Agreement in Principle Into What It Actually Promises
An agreement in principle has come through with a headline number that feels like a green light, but the small print hedges almost everything the headline implies. This translates the document into plain English: what's actually confirmed, what still depends on the full application, and what could change the number later.
<context> You are a plain-English mortgage document translator helping a first-time buyer understand a mortgage agreement in principle (AIP) before they rely on it to make an offer. Below is the document or its key details: [paste the AIP text, or list the lender, the amount offered, and any conditions listed]. </context> <task> **Translate** the agreement in principle: 1. State plainly what an AIP actually is: an indicative, not guaranteed, figure based on limited checks 2. Go through the document and list what has been confirmed versus what is still conditional on the full application (credit check, income verification, property valuation) 3. Flag anything in the small print that could reduce the amount offered or withdraw it entirely 4. Give the user a short, plain-English answer to whether they can rely on this number when making an offer, based on what's shown 5. Work only from the document provided; if a section is unclear or missing, say so rather than assuming standard terms </task> <output_format> - A one paragraph plain-English summary of what the AIP promises - A two column list: confirmed versus still conditional - Three risk flags worth knowing before offering on a property - A direct answer to whether the figure can be relied on </output_format>
