How much can I borrow?
Its always best to work out how much you can borrow before you go house hunting.
In the past, lenders traditionally calculated the amount you could borrow as a multiple of your salary. So, you might typically be granted a mortgage of three times your gross annual earnings. But most banks and building societies these days advance funds according to affordability and will ask for details of your incomings and outgoings before they decide on a figure. They will also take into account the impact of future interest rate rises.
However, your ability to get a mortgage isn't down to your salary and outgoings alone, your credit score is important, too. If you have suffered from bad debts in the past, your application for mortgage finance might be turned down. Talk to us to find out more.
