Do 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.

What evidence of income do I need?

If you are employed:

Your last three month’s payslips
Your latest P60
Your last three month’s personal bank statements
Proof of savings
ID and proof of address

If you are self-employed:

Your last two year’s SA302’s and tax overviews.
