How much will I be able to borrow?

There are a range of different factors that are used to determine the amount you can borrow depending on your income, expenditure, credit history, age, personal circumstances and property type.

As a rule of thumb, for a standard repayment mortgage you could borrow up to around four and a half times your income. Some lenders go up to five and a half times but there can often be stricter criteria on deposit size and credit score.

Please be aware that your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up payments on your mortgage.

The quickest way to get a more accurate estimate of how much you could borrow is by completing the digital fact-find.

Mortgage calculator

A mortgage is one of the biggest commitments you'll make, and with so many choices it can be hard to work out which one is right for you. Our mortgage calculator will show what you could borrow - you just need to input some basic info, such as your income and what deposit you'd have.

See what our customers say

After having no luck in finding a mortgage with our usual mortgage broker and also with a company specialising in mortgages for the over 60's, we decided to give Tembo a try via Saga. What had started out as a stressful and worrying process was resolved quickly and efficiently. I cannot recommend them highly enough. It is unlikely we will move again, but, if we do, we will definitely use them again.

See what our customers say

We were introduced to Tembo through SAGA, a trusted provider of several services. We found Tembo knowledgeable, friendly and efficient and quickly had an offer-in-principle set up at which point our case was taken over by Rebecca who patiently and diligently navigated the blizzard of personal data required by lenders these days and finally escalated the matter with the lender when their requests became obscure and super-detailed. For this alone, it was worth using Tembo who provided efficient, accessible, patient and professional advice throughout.
