I was wondering if anyone could give me a rough idea of how much i might be able to lend, so i can have a browse around the houses in my area
basically,
ill have a deposit of around £20,000
and i earn £ 18,500 per annum
any help would be appreciated!

Thanks very much.
I dont have any loans or anything, i have had a loan before, which i repayed in full, so hoping that might have boosted my credit rating.
Thank you for you help0
