    With an income of a quarter of a million pounds a year, your accountant should be able to tell you, surely??

    Most part of the income is legit? What is that supposed to mean.

    How much of a deposit do you have?

  • Your question: "How much can I borrow?" Ignoring your "alleged" annual income, I am going to go by your credit limit on your barclaycard. You state in this thread that your limit has been reduced from £1k to £550. My answer: I would guess at about tuppence ha'penny. :)

    We could all learn a little something from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.
  • lol he's prob a little kiddie. No offence but in your other post if you really bring home 250k you would not worry about £8-£12 and phone customer services...........

    If im wrong then spank me down but with a balance of £456 (or watever it was in the other thread) i think someone is telling porky pies.

    I think it is a wind up thread, don't you all? No one in their right mind would say "most of my income is legit"!!!!!
