Can You Get a Mortgage For 6 Times Your Salary? (with Adverse Credit?)

Borrow up to six times your yearly income.

Harry and Jessica are first-time buyers who are tired of renting. With a strong combined income of £62k and £18k saved, they’ve found a 3-bed for £350k, the perfect first home they've purchased to start their future together.

However, a default registered just over two years ago means most lenders won’t support them, especially at 95% LTV.

The high street lenders would decline this case, keeping Jessica and Harry paying rent 125% higher than their landlord's mortgage, instead of getting on the property ladder.

Not from today, we have lenders that support first-time buyers like Harry and Jessica - even with historic blips. With up to 6x income and 95% LTV available, they can finally own their own home.

Most lenders either cap income multiples or reduce LTVs to 85-90%, especially for first-time time-buyers.

Available for:

  • First Time Buyers, 95% LTV at 6x Income
  • Home Movers, 95% LTV at 6x Income
  • Remortgage, 95% LTV at 6x Income

How does it work?

The lender uses debt-to-income, which means if you are on £20,000 a year, you can borrow up to £120,000. However, if you also have an unsecured loan, credit cards and other financial commitments, that is deducted from the maximum available lend.

But I don't have Adverse Credit?

Great! This is just one scenario from one lender. We have other lenders that allow six times the income, especially for first-time buyers, such as Nationwide's "Helping Hand" scheme.
