Income multiples

Options
Hi,.

I am looking for a remortgage.

My income is 20k. Mortgage looking for 95k so that's 4.75. Over 30 yrs.

Last house valued was at 275k.

My partner is not working. We have 2 kids aged 7 and 9.

We are in receipt of CTC and child benefit but I have heard so far lenders will not take into account because it won't last for the duration of the mortgage.

Whats the best opetion and what would be lowest interest I can get over fixed period 5 years?

I have no credit card or loan debts.

Thanks

    You heard wrong.

    A decent five year fixed rate is around the 2% mark.

    Consult a Broker.

    Can we ask why? Does your existing lender not have any options.
