The amount you can borrow depends on how much you earn and how much of a deposit you have to put down. You’ll only be allowed to borrow what the lender thinks you can afford, so as a general rule, they’ll restrict the amount you can borrow if you’re buying on your own to around four times your income, or if you are buying with someone, about three times your combined income. This can vary from lender to lender and will take into account any outstanding debts and other outgoings, so it’s worth chatting to one of our advisors first.

The minimum deposit that some lenders will accept is 5% of the property value. However, if you only save this amount then your options could be limited, as most lenders will only offer mortgages to those with a minimum of 10% deposit. For example, if you want to buy a home for £200,000 you’ll need to put down a £20,000 deposit. The more you can afford to put down as a deposit, the wider the choice of mortgages you will have access to and the cheaper they will be.

First-time buyers will not pay stamp duty on the first £300,000 of any home costing up to £500,000 (and only 5% on any proportion between £300k and £500k). For properties costing more than £500,000, you will be buying under the standard system.
