Is this preapproval or prequalification?

We recieved the following letter, on letterhead, from a mortgage broker.  Is this preapproval, or is this prequalification? 

 

Date: 05/13/2013

Re: NAME

Address: TBD, County

 

To whom it may concern,

hevj1119 made application with our offices for the purchase of a new home on May 9, 2013. Based
upon the financial information provided (2 years W2’s, tax returns, paystubs, and assets), a fully reviewed
credit report, and a desktop underwriting approval, they qualify for a purchase in the amount of $xxx,xxxx.
USDA financing will be utilized and 100% financing based on the purchase price. This approval is
contingent on clear title, written verification of employment, and a residential property appraisal.

This is not to be interpreted as final loan approval, which is contingent upon verification of submitted
income documentation, clear title, and appraisal.

Lender Business Name is a mortgage lender specializing in FHA, VA, 203k, USDA, and
Conventional financing.

If you have any questions or require additional information, do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

Sounds like Pre-approval.  You went through DU, they looked over your financial information and credit report...etc.

 

We needed a pre-approval to get construction started, and our letter was worded similarly in places as yours.
