😰 MORTGAGE WORRIES WE HEAR EVERY WEEK #6

“What if interest rates go up?”

It’s a question we hear a lot — and understandably so.

The truth is, none of us can predict exactly what interest rates will do in the future.

But what we can do is plan. 💪

When we talk through your mortgage options, it’s not just about finding a deal for today. It’s about understanding what you’re comfortable paying, looking at different scenarios and making sure the mortgage works for you.

And when your current deal is coming to an end, we’ll be there to review your options again.

🏡 You can’t control interest rates. But you can make sure you’re prepared for them.

😰 MORTGAGE WORRIES WE HEAR EVERY WEEK #3

“How much can I actually borrow?”

This is one of the first questions people ask when they start thinking about moving home or buying their first property.

Many people still believe there’s a simple formula:

❌ Income × 4 = Mortgage amount

But it’s not always that straightforward.

Lenders look at a range of factors including:

✅ Income
✅ Monthly commitments
✅ Household expenditure
✅ Number of dependants
✅ Credit history
✅ The type of mortgage you’re applying for

In some cases, people can borrow more than they expect.

In others, affordability rather than income becomes the deciding factor.

The important thing is not to rely on online calculators or guesswork.

A proper assessment can give you a much clearer picture of what’s achievable and help you start your property search with confidence.

💪 Just because your friend borrowed a certain amount doesn’t mean the same applies to you.
