How much can I borrow?
How much you can borrow depends on three main factors (or ingredients as we like to call them):
1. Your deposit
2. Your income
3. Whether you meet lending criteria
If one ingredient isn't right, you might not be ready to buy your first home yet. Everyone's ingredients are so different that we can't give you too many specifics on this page.
Click the button to complete the How Much Can I Borrow? Questionnaire to find out. It takes less than 3 minutes to complete.
