What Impacts Your Mortgage Affordability?
Lenders consider several factors when calculating how much you can borrow:
✅ Income – Including salary, bonuses, self-employment income, and rental earnings
✅ Financial Commitments – Credit cards, car finance, loans, and other regular outgoings
✅ Deposit Size – A larger deposit can unlock better mortgage deals
✅ Credit History – A strong credit score can improve your chances of approval
✅ Employment Type – Whether you’re employed, self-employed, or a contractor can influence your borrowing capacity
