Mortgage affordability for a first home in England

Weezz shows information and estimates from your figures, not financial advice.

Lenders look at income, existing debt, and the deposit you can put down. A common sketch in England starts near 4.5× household income, then cuts for monthly commitments. Your lender may offer more or less after a full application.

What the Weezz sketch shows

  • A purchase-price range from about 4× income after debt (conservative) and a higher sketch near 4.5×.
  • A monthly repayment illustration from the rate and term you type.
  • England stamp duty and typical extras as cash to complete under the price.

What it does not show

It is not a Decision in Principle, a mortgage offer, or a statement that you qualify for any product. Credit score, employment type, and lender policy sit outside this page.

How to use it

Enter household income, monthly debt payments, a down payment, rate, and term. Read the purchase sketch and the cash-to-complete line together. If you already know a house price, the deposit gap tool is the better place to size the cash still needed.
