Me and the gf are now looking to move into our own place, i earn minimum of 18500 and she earns at least 12000, more like 20k and 15-16k tho

based on our basic what could we seriously look to borrow, neither of us have any outstanding debt, and will have about 7-10k as a deposit.

need to go see an advisor really, its just getting the time

HSBC are now offering 6x your annual income so about #180k but you'd kill yourself with repayments!

120k would be reasonable and 4x salary

Id say most places would offer around £100k, you may be able to persuade them you can aford more though & get offered more on principle.

Would probably be possible like....anythings possible

If i were you id find some properties I like in the £120k price range, get the schedules (maybe even do a few viewings to see whats what) & you & the missus go with what you found for sale to an independant mortgage advisor. He will be able to find out what you can get & the best package for you, there is ways to get a bit extra if required through taking different deals, longer terms etc etc

you can get a ruff idea by going on the banks website and playing with the mortgage calculator.

In terms of affordability, you'll need to prove that you can afford to pay out £1000pm to borrow £120kish. Very rough figures.

i think we could afford 1000ppm she will always take home 1000, and ill take home around 1100. that would still leave us 1000ish for everything else, which id assume is pretty safe?

and as for being able to afford 800, we are now putting away 100 a week each into savings, which is 800 a month

we thought that would b good to have to show the lender

Well shouldnt be a problem then!!

Although your sums dont add up,

She take home 1000 isnt £12k

&

You take home 1100 isnt 18500

Make sure your crystal clear on all incomings/outgoings before setting off to talk terms with anybody!!

I think your being slightly mis guided here

Firstly your a joint salary so mortgage lenders look upon it slightly different than if it was yourself

I have just taken a 120k mortgage out on my own

Do some research as with the repayments, plus council tax, utilitiy bills, life insurance, buildings and contents insurance, phone line rental, tv liciense, sky, broadband etc you are looking at a lareg SUM a month

I don't think they would offer you 120k between you

However you are looking at putting above 5% down so that will go for you

Again i may be wrong but its just my experience as I am just going through this now

At the current interest rates. Barclays asked me if I could afford it if went up to £1000pm and I'm quite sure they would have been less willing to lend it to me if I had paused at that moment in the phonecall.

If you want to reduce the monthly mortgage amount u could always have it over a longer period.
Thats what I did and hopefully in a few years when i'm on more money and the gf is on more we will reduce the term.
I would recommend a good fixed rate though especially with interest rates rising.
We were quite lucky we moved a few months ago when rates were very low and managed to get a 5 year fixed rate we also put £21k deposit down

going anything above 25 years is a bad move if you can keep it to 25 your better off

As the money you pay is just stupid

extending my mortgage to 40 years would equate to an extra 100k overall
