Affordability

To qualify for a mortgage in the USA, a calculation is used to establish whether you can afford to maintain the mortgage repayments.  This will automatically happen when you complete our enquiry form and we will not charge you for this service.

Example: Your existing liabilities, including your UK mortgage or rental payments, loans, credit card payments and maintenance are taken into account, together with the proposed USA mortgage payments.  All this must not typically exceed 38% of your monthly gross income.  For example if your gross joint income is £2,500, 38% of this equates to £950.  If your only liability is your current UK mortgage payment of say £300 per month, this would leave a balance of £650 for your USA mortgage repayment.

The amount that you can borrow is also restricted by the maximum loan to value as mentioned under Eligibility and criteria.
