    There's no harm at all in looking at this stage..many people put in offers if they find somewhere they really want to buy even though the mortgage hasn't been approved yet or the application even submitted!. If you have a good idea of what you're able to borrow and that you meet the bank's criteria then there's no harm. It'll probably take up to 2 weeks for the approval to come through so your best bet is to get cracking with your application sooner rather than later..
