Determining how much money you can borrow to purchase a house depends on a wide range of factors. These include your income, current loan commitments, living expenses etc.

In order to get an accurate estimate you would need to sit down with an expert who can calculate this for you. If you’d like to know the exact amount of how much money you can borrow so you can start looking at properties to buy, give us a call today.
