Mortgage for x4 salary?

Hi there,

Does anyone know of any lenders willing to lend x4 salary?
We have a 100k deposit, are on x1 income & x2 dependents
going to look at a joint mortgage to buy house min £210,000

I am going to try & freelance in something, but guessing that any income I make has to be from " permanent " part time employment in order to be taken into account.

What else could we do to put across a better case?


Any info would be great! thanks again.

    4x income is pretty easy

    Self employed income is taken into account but only if you can prove a relatively steady income.
    4 x salary isn't unheard of - try the online calculators.
    May 2018 - £159k + £3.5K CC - let the countdown begin! :)
    March 2019 - CC gone and bye bye M2 on 31st! £140k to go.:j
