5 times mortgage with Aldermore

Hi,

I am a first time buyer trying to buy a property with my partner. 

My annual income is 57000 and my partner earns 26000. We have an offer accepted on a property for 455000 and we have a deposit of 15%.

We have already applied for Nationwide helping hand mortgage and it has been declined.

We have a good credit history with no defaults, missed payment or CCJs.

I am planning to apply for our mortgage with Aldermore as they provide with higher incomes time multiple.

Has anybody ever taken a 5 times mortgage with Aldermore or any other lenders?

Thanks

  • It may depend. Are they flat basic salaries? Me and my partner had some initial issue as my total P60 always shows £50k+ but my basic is just over half of that and the rest is commission, which most exclude or at least mark-down

    A couple years back got 6 times income with masthaven bank. 
  • based on the figures here you are only looking at 4.65x income. This should be achievable through many lenders.   If you need 5x then with those incomes you should have a fair few high street options before you have to go to Aldermore
