The Mortgage Helpline International GroupDo I qualify for a UK residential mortgage?
To qualify for a mortgage in the UK, an affordability calculation is used to establish whether you can afford to maintain the mortgage repayments, and then an income multiple of up to 5 times your joint income can be applied. This varies between lenders and whether you are a first or second time buyer.
How much can I borrow?
Calculation based on the valuation or purchase price, whichever is the lower.
Up to 95% of LTV available for house purchase, 90% for Re-Mortgage or 85% for Equity Release for a number of purposes.
Existing liabilities, e.g. ongoing mortgage payments, loans, credit card payments, child care and maintenance are taken into account.

Your last three month’s payslips
