We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person to help us through the mortgage process. From the very beginning, Stephen made everything feel manageable — he explained things clearly, always kept us in the loop, and was genuinely invested in getting us the best possible deal. There were moments where things could’ve easily become overwhelming, but Stephen stayed calm, proactive, and incredibly supportive throughout. He took the time to understand our situation, answered every question (no matter how small), and made the whole experience feel less like a transaction and more like someone truly looking out for us. Thanks to Stephen, we’re now settled with a great mortgage that fits our needs — and we’re incredibly grateful. If you get the chance to work with him, take it. You’ll be in safe hands.

How much can I borrow?

The size of mortgage you can get depends on your income. Some lenders use a multiple of your income others look at how much you can afford based on your income and outgoings. As a rough guide, a typical multiple is four times your income.

This can vary depending on your personal circumstances and the lender’s criteria. They will consider who is applying for the mortgage and any outstanding debts you may have, and eligibility for a government housing scheme.
