Hi,
It is a promise made by the lender to hold certain interest rate and certain number of points while your loan application is processed. It is also called as rate-lock ot rate commitment.
Thanks,

Hi
Thanks for the reply. Will I be charged something if I go for lock in by the lenders?

Hi Hannah,
Welcome to MortgageFit Forums,
Lenders generally charge a lock-in fee that is not necessarily refundable. The amount of the fees depends on the length of the lock-in period and the amount also varies from lender to lender.
