Hi! So me and my partner are looking to buy our first home in the near future but not sure wether we earn enough to get one.
I've used a couple of the bank calculators online for estimates but have been told by most friends that they were not anywhere near accurate.
I'm wondering if anyone is in the same sort of financial position as us and wish to share their mortgage experiences!
We are both 23 and have 2 children, my partner earns £25,800 (including overtime) a year and myself £7000, we also recieve CB so overall £34,560 a year. We would have £a maximum £10,000 deposit and a few thousand for fees.. after our monthly bills/gas/food we have around £1000 left.
Our credit scores are both in good.
Has anyone managed to get a mortgage with similar figures? Thankyou! :)
