Mortgage: How Much Could I Borrow?

Mortgage: How Much Could I Borrow?

When applying for a mortgage, lenders assess how much they are willing to lend based on a range of factors, including your income, regular outgoings, and overall financial situation. The result is an estimate of how much you may be able to borrow — but it’s not a guarantee of approval.

Using a Mortgage Calculator

A mortgage calculator can help you estimate your borrowing capacity by taking into account:

  • Your annual income (and your partner’s, if applicable)

  • Monthly expenses and existing financial commitments

  • Deposit amount

  • Preferred loan term

  • Estimated interest rate

Please use our friendly mortgage calculator - Mortgage Calculator 

The calculator provides an illustration of what your potential mortgage repayments might look like.
Please note: the figures are for illustrative purposes only and do not constitute financial advice or a mortgage offer.

What This Means for You

When deciding how much to lend, mortgage providers will typically assess:

  • Your income and employment stability

  • Existing credit commitments

  • Credit history and score

  • Living costs and dependents

  • The value and type of property you wish to buy

Each lender uses its own affordability criteria, so the actual amount you can borrow may vary.

What Lenders Consider

  • Review your mortgage regularly to ensure it still meets your needs.

  • Seek professional mortgage advice to understand how changes may affect you and to explore suitable alternatives.

  • Budget with flexibility so you’re prepared for potential increases in repayments.
