Also, which mortgage company lends the most?
HSBC maxes out at 4.75 times, but will lend this up to 90%. Barclays goes the furthest of the banks, lending 5.5 times income on a repayment mortgage, but the borrower has to have a minimum income of £75,000 and put down a deposit of at least 15%. Santander has also recently increased its maximum to 5.5 times income.
