    Ignore AMN blog, he’s just done a basic income multiple. That’s not accurate at all. Your £200 per month car lease will reduce it to around £319,675. You haven’t mentioned whether you’ll carry forward any other debt? Or whether you have children? Or there will be ground tent or a service charge?

    I’m afraid your psychic powers are up the shoot today Xyzzy

    I ran a Halifax calculation, and the affordability fits, based, on 37000 + 13000 + 25000 second income and two 200 pcm car loans.

    In this case the income multiple happens to be the limiting factor.

    This one can stand £500 per month debt before the affordability is hived down from the £331,550 income multiple cap.

    This will fit Aimee.

    I agree with amn.

    On an attempted £390k purchase, with £350k mortgage, (89%) the Halifax LAC is topping out at £331,550 and is not increasing with the term, so income capping is in effect due to LTV.

    You could carry a further £100 a month in loan payments and your affordability would be unaffected.

    Here's a link to the calculator;-
