Residential mortgages, explained

Deposit: typically from 5% of the property value, although lenders are available with a deposit as low as 0% of the property value. The deposit and rate you're offered will depend on your circumstances and the lender.

How much you could borrow: lenders offer between 4 times and 7 times your income, depending on your individual situation.

Mortgage term: typically between 5 and 40 years, depending on your age, income and the lender.

Fixed vs tracker: a fixed rate keeps your payments the same for an agreed period, while a tracker moves with the Bank of England base rate. We'll help you weigh up which suits you.
