Help With Nationwide Mortgage

I was hoping some of you more experienced Mortgage specialists would be able to confirm what I was told at Nationwide earlier this week.

I have a £102k mortgage and I earn £39k with a property value of £155k, I also have £20k additional cash to assist with my move. I have no dependants and no additional borrowings, with a clean credit history.

The Affordablity meeting I had at Nationwide said that they would lend me up to £195k to assist me in my next move up the property ladder.

When I questioned this with the advisor as I said this was close to 5 times my income she said that Nationwide no longer lends on income multiples its now all done on affordability.

Do you more specialist people think that I have been advised correctly and I will be able to get a mortgage of £195k.

I am looking to port my 2.5% BMR of £102k and take an additional new mortgage of up to £93k, and am looking on properties up to £250k,

Many Thanks
