Affordability Calculator

Financial Services Authority: Impending Regulation

In the latter half of 2011 lenders will be required to determine that borrowers can afford a mortgage. Traditionally, lenders determined this by capping their lending to a multiple of earnings; this will no longer be acceptable. Instead, it looks increasingly likely that lenders will have to assess your EXPENDITURE as well as income. In anticipation of these new rules, we have devleoped the following calculator which we use to help clients determine whether or not a mortgage is affordable.
