    Point 1 is they key, Affordability.

    If property is affordable having proven your disposable income, then lenders should be willing to lend. In this instance the mortgage multiplier is largely irrelevant

    They'll be more mindful to what job you do and the prospects for you keeping it or prospering in it going forward. Disposable income isn't always permanent.

    I agree, disposable income can vary and change, but is a helpful tool to identify affordability at the start of the mortgage

    Similarly an income multiplier is not totally efficient when you can have two totally different applicants with different disposable incomes
