I earn about 15,000 per annum and pay 150 per month maintance, im single, 42 yrs old and live alone. i would like to move to a house costing about 170,000 is it possible to get a mortgage for the difference and where would the best place be to get a mortgage?

I dont want to see a mortgage broker at the mo as im not ready to move but just want to plan ahead and no what my possibilities are.

    Hi I'm no expert but you would need to borrow approx 65k which is just over 4 times your income - which present day probably wouldnt be a problem (however who knows what the world will be like in 2 years).

    I guess you just have to consider that you will have costs for the sale and purchase have put aside too.

    Not being nosey - but why do you want to saddle yourself with another mortgage?
