There is no guaranteed timeline for how long it'll take to close on your home after receiving conditional approval. When closing, they typically have a timeframe of three months but even then, nothing is set in stone prior to settlement.

Receiving conditional approval does not ensure that you will be able to close on your home loan. Borrowers must meet the criteria that the underwriter requests after receiving conditional approval.

The following are some examples of conditions:

Rental verification
Employment verification
Revised bank statements
Letters of justification
Appraisal terms and conditions
Title
Letters of appreciation
