Shared Ownership Affordability Calculator

How it works?

  • This calculator allows users to input property details and financial information to estimate their affordability. It calculates monthly mortgage payments and assesses if the mortgage aligns with their budget.
  • To ensure long-term sustainability, applicants should allocate 25% (min) and 45% (max) of their net wage, and 2.5x (min) and 4.5x (max) their gross income for home ownership.
  • The figures from this calculator are only a guide. Contact a specific lender before committing to any mortgage.

YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS OF YOUR MORTGAGE.
