Money

Affordability is the major consideration when choosing a mortgage. Typically most high street lenders will lend a single person between 3 and 3.5 times their pre-tax salary. Other credit commitments, such as to a credit card or personal loan will generally not be taken into account.

  • Mortgage Tables

    • Mortgage tables from the fsa
  • Mortgage Guide

    • A mortgage is like any other kind of loan but with two major differences. It is paid back over a long period of time (normally 25 years) incurring a lot of interest (over that period of time you’ll probably end up paying almost double) and it is secured against your property. This means that if you default on the agreement the lender can repossess your house.
