Finally, finally, finally, H and I are earning more than we are spending, and have paid off all our CCs. Woop woop.
So we're carrying on eating beans and everything else is being ploughed into paying off the last of our ODs and one loan, then saving, saving and more saving for a deposit.
But it would be nice to know how much we might be able to borrow, when, and how. We need to know what we're working towards, how much (roughly) we'll need to have saved, and what multiples
Due to our slightly complicated circumstances (me = 'professional' ?eligible for better rates/LTV/multiples, him = self employed, much lower earner, only has accounts for 1.5 yrs so far) I think we'll need an IFA to help us work it all out.
So - how do I find one?
Also: am I right in thinking a 'normal' mortgage offer would be 3x joint income or 5x single income? Or is that outdated?
Sorry for the unnecessarily long and detailed post ?
