Want to buy my first house

Hi

I am looking to get a FTB Mortgage and would love to get a house for around £150,000.

Would there be any chance of getting to this figure.

I have a 20k deposit, no debts or loans, just pay rent a month.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Comments would be appreciated.

Many thanks

  • Depends on your annual salary...

    You can get a 90% LTV mortgage from someone like HSBC (4.99%) or Natwest (5.99%)

    The multiples of salary are btween 3 and 4x your basic....

    So if your salary multiplies to the 120000 - 125000 figure there your good to go!

    Hi

    Salary is 24k, with bonuses of about £2,000 a year.
  • hmmmm, yeah you might struggle to get them to give you enough...

    Be worth ringing up and finding out though.

    Im on a similar basic to you and HSBC would only give me £100k

    If you get any results post it on here because I'm in a very similar situation to you with regards to house prices interested in and salary on so would be good to share what we find out.

    The amount you're after isn't realistic.
