Affordability
To qualify for a mortgage in France a calculation is used to establish whether you can afford to maintain the mortgage repayments.
Your existing liabilities, including your UK mortgage or rental payments, loans, credit card payments and maintenance are taken into account, together with the proposed French mortgage payments. All this must not exceed 35% of your monthly gross income. For example, if your gross joint income is £3,500, 35% of this equates to £1225. If your only liability is your current UK mortgage payment of say £500 per month, this would leave a balance of £725 for your French mortgage repayment.
The amount that you can borrow is also restricted by the maximum loan to value as mentioned under Eligibility and criteria.
