Overview
Mortgage affordability checks are carried out by lenders as part of a mortgage application. They check to see if you will be able to afford your monthly mortgage repayments based on your current income. They will look to see if you can comfortably afford to make the repayments as well as other predicted outgoings.
Getting the right mortgage with repayments that you can afford is important. So it’s essential that you know what you can afford to buy before looking at the property market.
We have extensive guides on mortgage affordability so you can make the right decisions. If you need some extra help, our expert mortgage advisors can guide you along the way.
Loan Corp provides all the information and guidance you need at the click of a button. Use our mortgage affordability calculator to receive a super quick estimate of how much you would be eligible to borrow.

Lenders will assess what kind of mortgage you can afford using the loan-to-income ratio. This is the amount you wish to borrow divided by how much you earn. Lenders generally cap how much you can borrow at 4.5 times your annual income. They will also factor in any existing debts, your living expenses and your credit history.
Generally, your annual income will determine how much mortgage you can get. Most lenders will offer a loan of 4.5x your annual salary. In some exceptional cases, you can be eligible for a mortgage 6x your annual income. Lenders will assess your individual circumstances to determine how much you can borrow.
Mortgage interest is the interest charged on a loan used to buy a property. It is calculated as a percentage of what you borrow and is repaid over the period of your mortgage deal, known as the term. For example, if your interest rate is 5% and you borrow £50,000, you will pay interest of £2,500 annually.
As of August 2022, the UK government removed ‘stress-testing’ from standard mortgage affordability checks. This means that borrowers will no longer be subject to affordability checks for repayments based on future interest rates rising by 3%.
