The “How Much Can I Borrow?” calculator provides a helpful estimate based on your input of financial details, such as income and outgoings.
While it uses standard mortgage lending principles, the actual amount you can borrow will depend on more detailed affordability assessments conducted by lenders, including credit checks and individual circumstances.
Therefore, the calculator should be viewed as a guide, and speaking directly to a mortgage advisor will give you a more tailored figure.
The mortgage application process can vary depending on your situation and chosen lender.
Typically, from submitting your application to receiving an offer, it can take anywhere from two to six weeks.
This timeline includes securing a decision in principle, undergoing credit checks, and the lender reviewing your financial details and documentation.
Getting a mortgage with bad credit can be more challenging, but it’s not impossible.
Some lenders offer specialist products for those with adverse credit histories, such as missed payments or County Court Judgements (CCJs).
Keep in mind that you may need a larger deposit, and interest rates could be higher than for applicants with a clean credit record.
To apply for a mortgage, you’ll typically need to provide proof of income (such as payslips or tax returns for the self employed), bank statements, and proof of identity and address.
Lenders may also ask for details about any existing loans or debts, as well as your monthly expenses to assess your affordability.

I had a really positive experience with UK Money Man when arranging my mortgage for my next property. Jason and Joe were both fantastic throughout the whole process. They supported me with porting my existing mortgage, and made what could have been a complicated process feel very straightforward. Their communication was excellent! They were always quick to respond, kept me updated, and explained everything clearly so I always knew what was happening. What stood out most was their speed, clarity, and how easy they made everything feel from start to finish. I really felt supported throughout, and they helped everything move along smoothly. I would definitely recommend UK Money Man to anyone looking for a reliable and responsive mortgage broker.

Kerry Bewell was assigned my application for a mortgage and I can honestly say she went over and above. She was in contact regularly with any updates regardless how small and kept me informed throughout the process answering questions and queries. I would highly recommend her.
