Low Income Mortgage

Okay, I'm ready to move out of family home and looking for a property between 75,000/90,000 and I am currently have £25K deposit. I'm on the electoral roll, never missed any credit card payment and only debt is student loan of around £10K.

However, the primary issue is my salary is £18100 and will be single applicant. I'm just wondering what are my chances of getting a mortgage?

    Sounds feasible given your deposit, certainly.

    Draw up a budget and see what's financially feasible.

    Very do-able I would have thought.
    £85k property with £25k deposit leaves a 35 year repayment mortgage of less than £250 I would have thought. You earn enough for most lenders (assuming no gremlins in the credit past) and the monthly rent is probably cheaper than any private rent.
