Increase your affordability
Whether you're purchasing a home or remortgaging, you could borrow up to 6 times your household income to increase your borrowing capacity. See if you're eligible by creating a free Tembo plan today.
Typically lenders will let you borrow between 4-4.5 times your income for a mortgage. A 6x Mortgage allows home buyers and remortgagers with a 15% or higher deposit or equity to borrow up to 6 times their income, providing that you meet the eligibility criteria.
Say you that between you and your partner, you earn £60,000. With a standard mortgage, you might be able to borrow up to £270,000 from a lender. But with a 6x Mortgage, that increases to £360,000. That's over 30% more!
If you're purchasing a home and you have a deposit between 10%-15% you could still borrow up to 5.5x your income, or up to 5x if you have between 5%-9.99%.
We help buyers, movers and homeowners discover how they could boost their affordability in 3 simple steps. It’s why we’re the UK’s Best Mortgage Broker.
All mortgages have risks and benefits. Here are some key things you should know about before applying for a 6x Mortgage
Increase your buying budget
A 6x Mortgage can significantly increase the amount you can borrow for a house, boosting your buying or remortgage budget. This could mean you can get on the ladder sooner, afford a more expensive property, or fund home improvements.
Boost your borrowing without a guarantor
If you don’t have a family member or loved one that could help you to increase your borrowing power, a 6x Mortgage offers a solution without external support.
You won't pay an ERC if you move or overpay
If you move house, overpay on your loan or pay off your debt in full using your own funds, you won't pay an Early Repayment Charge (ERCs).
Your rate automatically reduces over time
Your mortgage interest rate can fall over time as your Loan to Value (LTV) decreases. This may mean you don't have to remortgage to benefit from reducing your repayments.
You must meet the minimum deposit criteria
To qualify for a mortgage 6x your income, you must have a down payment of 15% or more. For those with deposits between 10-15%, you may be eligible to borrow up to 5.5x your income, or 5x for those with deposits between 5-9.99%.
Poor credit could impact how much you can borrow
If you have a low credit score you may be offered a smaller income multiple.
You cannot buy a new build
You cannot use this scheme to purchase a new-build property
You can only get 5-15 year fixed rate deals
If you only plan to stay in the property for a few years, this scheme might not be suitable.
