    Thanks all for the help. I didn;t quite understand the jargon above (SOA and LTV) but I think I get the gist.

    Realistically a lot will depend on how long the money takes to get to me, and what the rates are at the time, but its given me a few pointers so I can do some of my research ahead of time.

    Thx ;)

    Just to tidy things up:

    SOA -Statement Of Accounts, i.e. your income v your expenditure
    LTV - Loan To Valuation i.e. your mortgage as a % of the value of you property. You'll find sometimes that there better deals where this is lower because the mortgage lender is taking less of a risk because of the size of the loan compared to the asset (if that makes sense)

    anyway good luck
    There's always someone bigger and better, smarter and stronger but there's only one YOU!:j
