How much can I Borrow?

Hi All,

If I had a deposit of 115k and my salary is £27k a year, how much could I borrow?

Is it better to go to a broker to borrow more or does a broker only deal with getting better rates rather than amount you can borrow?

M.

    you might be able to squeeze out 4.5 times, although whetehr you would want to is anther question.

    A broker should know all the ins and outs, an be able to advise how to move forward - they claim to get slightly better rates

    Potentially woolwich , Abbey, Nat west and a few more may do 5x.
