Car Finance with Mortgage

Options
Hello


When applying for a Mortgage - how do lenders view car finance? Whether its a Loan / Hire Purchase / Leasing?


Are either more/less attractive to a lender?


Thanks

  • My guess would be, as long as it is well within your budget and does not affect affordability, then it shouldnt be a problem.

    The monthly cost will reduce your mortgage borrowing power.

    Take the car on a deal that is right for you.

    The higher the payment the lower your mortgage borrowing power.

    Other than that it makes no difference.
