4.5x Income: The standard multiple used by most high street lenders for typical borrowers.

5x Income: Available from select lenders, often for borrowers with good credit and stable employment.

5.5x Income: Reserved for borrowers with high income and deposits. Most lenders can't offer this.

6x Income: Available from specialist lenders, often for professionals in certain careers (doctors, lawyers, accountants) or those with larger deposits.

These figures are estimates. Your actual borrowing amount will depend on credit history, outgoings, deposit size, and individual lender criteria.

Think carefully before securing other debts against your home. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on a mortgage or any other debt secured on it.

If you are thinking of consolidating existing borrowing you should be aware that you may be extending the terms of the debt and increasing the total amount you repay.
