First time buyer mortgages

How much can I borrow for a mortgage? 

The size of your mortgage loan, alongside your deposit, will determine the maximum property value you could afford, so, understandably, it’s important to know from the outset.‍We look at how the size of your loan is calculated by lenders, how to use a mortgage calculator and what to do if you can’t borrow as much as you’d hoped.
