Mortgage Affordability Calculator
Mortgage Affordability Calculator Explained
Mortgage affordability calculators are a new way for mortgage lenders to calculate how much you can borrow for a new mortgage. Mortgage lenders have traditionally looked at income multiples to decide
how much to let you borrow. Although now due to lifestyle, some borrowers
may be able to get a little more through Lenders that use mortgage affordability calculators.
There are approximately 25 lenders currently that lend on your ‘ability to pay’ instead of income multiples like 2 times joint income or even 3.5 times single income. But if, for example, you have a clean credit record, no children and two incomes, some lenders may be willing to lend a little more. Alliance & Leicester, Standard Life, Halifax, Norwich & Peterborough and Nationwide are among them.
Enhanced Affordability Calculators
Lenders are now prepared to offer you even more if you choose a five or ten-year fixed rate mortgage. This is because the monthly repayments stay the same for a long time, and so feel like less of a risk to the lender.
