Mortgages - How much can I borrow?

We have quite a large deposit, 30K plus.
I am on £27,252 though this is pro rata 21hours p/w part time 1 year fixed term contract - full time is 35 hours. We're looking to buy in London.
Also, am in the process of applying for 2nd pt job (2 days a week) also paying around £27k - pro rata.

    Varies greatly from lender to lender etc, but there are some great calculators in the mortgage free wannabe section

    What is the other income?

    What property prices would you want to look at?

    my other half has no stable income at the moment so am not taking that into account although she will contribute to monthly payments say £150-£200.

    I am looking for properties around £160-170K and may be able to source difference from relatives.
