You can spend hours trying mortgage calculators and still not really know what you should be spending on a home.
You change the property price. Try a bigger deposit. Extend the mortgage term. Put the numbers into another calculator.
And now you've got five different answers.
The problem isn't that you need another calculation...
It's that none of those numbers can tell you which option actually makes sense for your life.
That's why I don't start with the mortgage. I start with the life it needs to fit around.
In my Homeownership Planning Session, we'll work through what you're trying to achieve, what you're working with financially, what you want your income to leave room for and what feels comfortable.
From there, I can establish what's realistically achievable, help you set a clear property budget and look to secure a Decision in Principle.
So rather than looking at homes wondering “Could we do this?”, you've got a much clearer idea of what you're working with and why.
And when you find the right property, I'll recommend the mortgage that fits, arrange it and guide you through the process.
If you've done the research but you're still not sure what makes sense for you - just send me a message to get in touch.
