"You can borrow 4x your salary." You've probably heard this. It's not wrong, but it's not the full picture.
Lenders don't just multiply your income. They look at what's left after your outgoings. Credit cards, loans, bills, childcare, even subscriptions: all of it gets factored in.
Two people earning the same salary can walk away with completely different mortgage offers.
And depending on how you earn (employed, self-employed, contractor), different lenders calculate your income in different ways.
The number you actually qualify for might be higher than you think. Or the barrier might be something fixable.
