Most people will need to borrow money in the form of a mortgage to fund their part-purchase of a property.

Mortgage lenders will be able to give you advice on the different types of mortgages that are available and the interest rates that will be fixed to the repayments.

Single Income x 3
Joint Income x 2.5
