What mortgage can I get on one salary

Jamsterthehamster

have you tried the post office?
we were offered a 5 year fix and are in a very similar position to yourselves.
The rate was high 6.99% but still achievable.
We have a deal with a high st lender 2.5%, where we thought we could port, but as OH on maternity it caused a bit of bother - thankkfully they will help, but certainly would have looked at the Post Office deal otherwise.
Find a good broker, be honest, deals are still around.
One thing though - any way you could raise a 15% deposit? -you'd have no trouble getting a better deal.
Best of luck though.
Other option would be a Guarantor.
And I/ we understand your situation.
Best of luck
