Mortgage affordability calculations
How much can you borrow? 

First question we get asked, as independent mortgage advisers, is how much can I borrow?
Answer is never straight forward, as it depends on your personal circumstances, types of income and credit history. Additionally, lenders have such different lending policies that it is a common occurrence for one lender to offer 40% more than others, so you really need to know where to go with your figures.
Independent, whole of the market advisers are best placed to advise on the best mortgage products, rates and lenders as they have access to majority of the banks and building societies as well as knowledge and experience of banks policies, products and requirements.
To get the exact figures, for how much you can borrow, an adviser will need to know:
  • Your age and dependants,
  • Where is your income coming from (employment, self-employment, pension…),
  • How much is your income and how stabile it is,
  • Existing financial commitments (do you have any credit cards, personal loans, HP purchases…)
  • Are there any foreseeable changes to income?
  • How much deposit you have available?
  • Credit history (is there any history of missed payments, county court judgements or defaults?).
