Frequently asked questions:
The main factors that affect your borrowing capacity for a mortgage include:
- Your income - Lenders will look at your total gross annual income from employment, investments, benefits, pensions, and other sources
- Existing debts - Any loans, credit cards, or other commitments that require monthly payments will reduce the amount you can borrow for a mortgage
- Expenses - Essential living costs like rent, utilities, insurance, transportation and childcare impact how much disposable income you have to service a mortgage
- Deposit - The more you can put down, the lower the loan-to-value ratio, which can mean better rates and allowance for larger loan amounts
- Credit history - Good long-term credit with on-time repayments will help your application
- Loan type and term - Shorter terms or adjustable rate mortgages have lower borrowing potential than longer fixed terms of 25-30 years
Lenders typically use a debt-to-income ratio to assess your ability to repay the loan. This ratio compares your monthly debts to your income.
You can improve your borrowing capacity by reducing existing debts, increasing your income, and improving your credit score.
If your borrowing capacity is lower than expected, you may need to adjust your property search or consider ways to increase your income or decrease expenses.
