The amount you can borrow depends on several factors, including your income, expenses, existing debts, and the type of loan you're seeking. Here's how it typically works:
Income and Employment: Lenders will look at your gross income, job stability, and employment history to determine your borrowing capacity.
Expenses and Debts: Your regular expenses and any existing debts (like credit cards, car loans, etc.) will be considered to understand your financial commitments.
Credit Score: A good credit score can increase your borrowing power, as it shows lenders that you're a reliable borrower.
Loan Type and Terms: The type of loan and its terms (fixed or variable rate, loan term, etc.) will also impact how much you can borrow.
Deposit and Equity: The amount of deposit you have saved or the equity in your current property can affect the loan amount.
