  • no idea.  You have given little to no information.  If your concern is your age then you can get a mortgage at your age.   If your concern is something else then you have to be more specific with your question

    As a starting point, why not just pick any of the high st lenders and plug in your salaries etc. , and the sort of value you think you will need to borrow for the type of property you are looking at and see if that still leaves you with questions...
    For the value of your current flat check Zoopla or similar websites and see if you can find others near you that have sold recently...
