    How much are you planning to budget for a monthly payment?

    Sit down and work out a budget and good mortgage adviser could work from there.

    That is an ideal starting point

    With that as a foundation the adviser would be able to look at what options could fit the bill


    You don't state what your income is or what otehr debts(if any) you have in the background -these will also be needed to establish the right deals for you

    Also, do you have a clean credit histroy?

    The mortgage should be fine - it will just be a case of finding one that fits in with what you want to budget for
