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.

Remortgaging Fantastic service from UkMoneyMan. This is the 2nd time around dealing with UKmoneyman and this time our case was handled by Matt Cuthbert and his colleague Joe Pinder. Couldn't fault anything and we wouldn't hesitate using the service again. Thank you UkMoneyMan and your dedicated team.

I have used Liverpoolmoneyman twice now. The reason I returned is that they are fast to respond, polite, professional and do everything they can to give you honest advice. Whilst I have had delays in arranging my mortgage and subsequent re-mortgage, Liverpoolmoneyman were not to blame for this and did everything they could to assist.

We had a great experience remortgaging with the help of Liverpool Money Man - the service was efficient, booking and rearranging appointments was easy, Jason was knowledgable, helpful and clear with the information he shared. We were able to navigate a tricky time in the market with ease and when needed, Jason moved quickly to ensure we secured our preferred deal. Thank you for your help, we would recommend these guys

Having used UK Moneyman to arrange my last mortgage, when my current deal ended, rather than doing the leg work myself I again approached Chris (Thompson) who I had dealt with prior. Although Chris doesn't normally deal with remortgages, he and the company were happy to allow him to assist - as we already had a working relationship. Again he got me a deal I was happy with, ran through all of the options available and what he thought would be my best way forward. the solicitors were included in the fee package (ONP in Stockport) who were very efficient and everything proceeded smoothly. Chris is always just a message away, if any issues arise, and he always gets back in touch promptly. The back office also keep in regular contact with too with updsates that they receive. A WORD OF ADVICE: just to assist with making sure your application runs smoothly - ensure you have all relevant paperwork to hand to send on to them (payslips, statements etc) it really does expedite the process for all concerned. All told another 5 star service from all the team, I highly recommend them - see you in 5years for (hopefully) my final remortgage!

I had an excellent experience working with Liverpoolmoneyman throughout the entire process. From the beginning, they were professional, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable. They took the time to clearly explain each step, answered all my questions, and made what could have been a very complex process feel straightforward and manageable. Communication was consistent and transparent, and I always felt supported and well-informed. They worked efficiently with all parties involved to ensure everything progressed smoothly and on time. I really appreciated their dedication and attention to detail, especially when navigating the lender’s requirements and making sure everything was handled correctly. Thanks to their guidance, the mortgage process was far less stressful than I expected. I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable and professional mortgage broker.

I thought applying as self-employed would be more complicated, but Chris guided us quickly and explained the whole process very clearly. We received our mortgage offer in a very short time and now we’re looking forward to completing the legal purchase. Highly recommended!
