Advice on Mortgage

Options
Hi everyone,
(sorry its long)
I was wondering if anyone can give me some advice about a mortgage. We currently have a mortgage with Halifax for £90,000. We have decided to move to somewhere a bit bigger as family is expanding. We wanted a mortgage for £112,000 for a house worth £150,000 (75% mortgage). We phoned Bristol and West as some of our income is bonuses etc and wanted a self cert one. In principal they said we could get that amount subject to credit checks. The problem is that we have 2 loans - 1 for £10,000 (balance £9,500 and the other £4,300 and 2 credit cards, 1 for £1,500 and the other for £600. I told them the monthly payments on the phone - £150 and £134 and credit cards £25 and £10 ish (varies). This was put down so they said we could have that amount with these monthly payments. They don't know the actual amounts though. Would this matter. I don't want credit checks against us because if they refuse we will have to go somewhere else. We have no missed payments/late payments/ccj's/defaults etc between us.
His income = £16,000
Mine = £15,000 + we have some extras - approx £6000.
Monthly payments will be more than now but we can afford it comfortably and I will be changing my job in a few months and becoming self employed so we wouldn't be able to get a mortgage for a while after that so its now or in about 2 years.
Thanks Gemxx

    The way income is assessed is for your joint income less any outgoings

    ie £37,000.00 less Loan/Credit Card repayments = £319pm x 12 = £3828

    Amount of Income to pay mortgage £37,000.00 less £3828.00 =£ 33,172

    £33,172.0 IS MORE THAN ENOUGH TO PAY FOR A £121,00.00 MORTGAGE

    In FACT YOU ONLY REQUIRE 75% LTV means there is plenty of security/equity for the lender so the income multipliers or afordability calculations will be high

    Just checked the lenders lending criteria as I write

    ITS 4x joint income WHICH IN YOUR CASE EQUATES TO £132.688.00

    yOU HAVE NOTHING TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT

    You may well not need to go self cert, and should be able to get a better rate if you can avoid this. Why not see what the Halifax will offer you first and take it from there?

    Oh Wardlaw is a broker is he? How was I supposed to know? There is no brokers signature. Brokers usually can string a sentence together. Brokers use computers for their work so are usually blessed with some IT skill. Brokers can quite often spell medium length words.
    This guy is not very convincing as a broker are you sure he is one?:rolleyes:

    Once again use capital letters very aggressively rather than conducting himself in a professional manner.

    "icon1.gifwho is this ignorant idiot"

    I think this is pot calling kettle black, from someone who cant even put a sentence together properly and has only learnt to write in capitals (big letters to you wardlaw).

    I.m glad I came in here

    Never had such a laugh for years

    BRING IT ON

    ITS SOOO FUNNY Mortgage Brokers attacking one another Kind of defeats the reason for forums. I believe Why do you do it ?


    All these people attacking each other and they dont know each other

    The question is, do all morgage brokers in England act this way, and if so, why do they bring their profession so far down the food chain that the APR is so high

    Guess I rest My case <--feel more arrogant attackers comming on here, which if they do, will clearly state my point yawnnn

    Can't wait for the next lame broker All you do is bring your OWN INTEGRITY DOWN AND NOBODY WILL ASK FOR YOUR ADVISE

    It's like a BIG JOBBY they will bypass you:T

    There are only 2-3 that act this way the ret are great AND convey great advise to all

    You will know who I am referring to as the people in here are not stupid and are well aware of those who attack others and relent to ch:A ildish anticts:A


    I understood brokers came here to help and not confuse ppl like you are clearly doing Dont you have enough clients to service

    IF you did why come here and attack people you dont know

    Is it play group or what

    lolol
