  • The Intelligent Finance offset mortgage is based on affordability rather than income multiples, they have recently remortgaged me to over x5 my sole income, well happy with them. ;D

    Hi there

    As already posted, the only way of getting these loan amounts is by going to lenders that look at affordability rather than income multiples.

    There are a few more now on the market. Whilst Intelligent Finance Offest is an option, there are other lenders that will offer normal tracker and fixed rates also.

    The only warning I would put here, without knowing your circumstances, is be aware of over stretching yourself - make sure the monthly payments are affordable not only now, but also taking into account interest rate increases.

    Hope this helps.

    Try any of the following:

    If
    Abbey
    Standard Life Bank
    Nationwide

    All these do salary stretches or "affordability" mortgages.

    Abbey are very helpful!
