Age/Salary /Mortgage?

[Whyohwhymewhy]

I would like to buy a bigger house in a few years time but it would mean getting a bigger mortgage. Got me thinking what is the norm?

I’ll go first
39 years old
£3000 joint salary
£250k mortgage

53 & 56

Joint income month £5600
Mortgage £94k

Age: 65
Salary: 0
Mortgage: 0 (paid off some years ago)

39
Joint income around 45k
Mortgage 55k

32 & 33
110 joint income PA
no mortgage yet, saving for deposit in London
1 reception aged child and 1 newborn.

42 & 49
approx £3.5k joint
£95,000

joint net monthly £7.5k
£350k left on mortgage.

25
Monthly income combined £4500
£170K left on mortgage (6 years paid)
Looking to upsize to 5 bed but prices are ridiculous

I am broke with a mortgage at the age of 50. I am quite amazed at the salaries being quoted on here when the average salary nationally is between £20k and £35k depending on your age.

36
joint income 70k
no childcare costs due to working p/t
180k left on mortgage

39+41
11.5k monthly net income
750k left on the mortgage (thankfully fixed at 1.5% for 20 years—we’re in Europe).

42 years old
£66,000 joint take home
200k mortgage and house is too small (south east)

37
£5.5k take home
£22k remaining on mortgage as remortgaged for refurb, previously was paid off.

Age 59
Self employed c 18k
no mortgage

There will be loads! But they would probably answer a thread about rent vs income instead whereas homeowners wouldn't 🤷🏻‍♀️ Mumsnet is skewed towards higher earners as well I think

Ages 35 and 38
Joint income of approx £120k
£240k left on the mortgage (approx half of house's value)

That feels about right for us but we're both quite risk averse. We keep toying with the idea of moving somewhere a lot cheaper (currently in Berkshire) and being almost mortgage free.

30
Joint net: £5.5k ish
Mortgage: £245k

It's projected to be paid off in 20 years, so that's alright. Hopefully if rates come down a bit more when we come to remortgage in 2025 we can overpay more to get the term down.

It's unlikely we will move from this house unless we get a lottery win or something.

Income varies because we are self employed - average take home about £10 k net.
mortgage still has £445,000 outstanding (originally £629,000) and it costs us £2,800 a month.

45 + 55
£5.2k
Mortgage free

35 / 36
£4,100
£239k remaining

36
Monthly about 5k
199k left on mortgage (moved last year)
House is pretty perfect so don't think we will be moving

42
joint monthly take home £3,600
77k remaining on mortgage

41
£6000 per month
No mortgage

42+51
Joint income must be about £60 after tax. I'm higher earner by about 1/3.
Mortgage 110000
Moved to bigger house 3 years ago, otherwise we'd be nearly mortgage free.

45 yr olds
8k/MTH joint income
100k mortgage to be paid off in the next 2/3 years

It's our forever home and kids love it here,location and the house in terms of space.

What jobs do you do? I thought DH and I had pretty good well paid jobs but we still don't reach £10k net. So many replies of between £10 and £15k on this thread, I'm wondering what career we should have gone for!
