Try our mortgage calculator

This gives you an idea of what you might be able to afford. You can compare mortgage rates and get an indication of the monthly repayments.

Get an Agreement in Principle

For a more accurate indication of how much you could borrow, get an Agreement in Principle. Have a property in mind? Find out if you can borrow what you need without affecting your credit score.

What is an Agreement in Principle?

An Agreement in Principle (AIP) is a personalised indication of how much you could borrow. It's based on the details that you provide. It's not a full mortgage offer, but it shows sellers and agents that you're a serious buyer.

You can get an AIP at any time without affecting your credit score or credit file.
