    £200-225k plus your deposit on top.
    thats a bit of a ball park figure, it will depend on your circumstances/expenditure/term of mortgage etc. You may be able to go a little higher.

    Thanks ACG

    currently wife has a 10k loan and car finance payments total £484 month, i have no debts. To be honest we are looking at houses priced between 150k & 180k as dont want a huge mortgage.

    Also as it would be a 2nd house, will mortgage companies want a minimum deposit? ie 15% or could it be done with 10%?

    Will i be better going through a broker? due to me being self employed


    thanks again for your help

    Haha... this is where you start adding bits.

    I would suggest speaking to a broker where there is a second property in the background. Some will do 90%, others will limit to 75/80/85% so its important you or a broker does the research.

    The loan will reduce down what can be obtained (assuming its still in place on completion).
