What type of mortgage can you get for £1,000 per month?

The type of mortgage you can get is not determined by how much you want your monthly repayment to be, rather it is based on a lender’s affordability assessment. After affordability has been calculated, as long as you meet the additional eligibility criteria,  you could secure

How affordability is calculated

Mortgage providers use income multiples, rather than a set monthly budget -whether for £1,000 or any other amount,  as part of their affordability calculations to determine the maximum amount they will extend to you.

Usually, lenders will lend between 4-4.5 times a household’s annual income. However, some lenders are happy to go up even to 6 times your annual income.

Strong applications, high deposit, good credit history and strong income levels – will find that applicants are more likely to be eligible with mortgage lenders who use higher income multiples.

That’s not to say that all lenders will always loan at least 4 times a household’s income. Lenders want to know that what they extend is affordable to you in terms of monthly repayments.

If you have large amounts of outgoings each month (school fees, car loan repayments etc), providers may calculate you can only afford an amount lower than a 4-time income multiple. Plus they will want to apply a stress test to ensure you can afford any increases in interest rates in the future.

To find out how much you could borrow based upon your income, use the calculator below:

You could borrow up to 

Most lenders would consider letting you borrow

This is based on 4.5 times your household income, the standard calculation used by the majority of mortgage providers. To borrow more than this, you will need to use a mortgage broker to access specialist lenders.

Some lenders would consider letting you borrow

This is based on 5 times your household income, a salary multiple you might struggle to qualify for without the help of a broker. This income multiple is not widely available to customers who are applying directly with a lender.

A minority of lenders would consider letting you borrow

This is based on 6 times your household income, a salary multiple you will struggle to get without a broker. Six-times salary mortgages are usually only available under very specific circumstances.

Other factors that could impact your maximum borrowing

Mortgage lenders will carry out checks across their criteria which could indirectly affect how much you’re monthly mortgage payment will be. Some of the criteria which they’ll check will be::

Deposit and LTV

The higher your deposit, the less you need to borrow making it more likely a larger group of lenders will consider your application. So you may be eligible for lower interest rates – making your £1,000 go even further.

Credit history

Lenders prefer applicants with good credit scores. While you can still get a mortgage with bad credit, the pool of lenders who will consider your application will be smaller and the interest rate will likely be higher so you may have to borrow less in order to keep to your monthly budget.

Mortgage type

The rates you are offered for your mortgage will increase according to how risky your required mortgage type is. Buy-to-let mortgage rates, for example, are usually higher than traditional ones. As a result, you might have to borrow less if you cannot increase your monthly repayment.
