Nationwide makes change to its mortgages meaning some customers can borrow 6 times salary and £50,000 more
Quick Summary
Nationwide Building Society is the latest mortgage lender to offer six-times single and joint salary mortgages to those earning over £75,000 on their own or £100,000 combined. HSBC has just started offering 6.5 times salary mortgages to higher earners, as well as Bank of Ireland Bespoke and Metro Bank! Mortgage lenders are keen to offer larger loan sizes, which is a pretty good time, seeing as rates start at 3.5% and it is a buyer's market with lots of properties for sale.
Nationwide for Intermediaries has increased the maximum mortgage amount higher earners can borrow up to six times their income, where they are:
- a home mover or remortgaging with additional borrowing, and
- have an eligible income of £75,000 or more for a sole applicant (£100,000 joint).
For applicants who are home movers or remortgaging and looking to borrow more, here are a couple of examples of how Nationwide's change will help:
- A single applicant, with an eligible income of £75,000 could now borrow up to £450,000. This is an uplift of £37,500.
- Joint applicants, with an eligible income of £100,000 could now borrow up to £600,000. An uplift of £50,000.
- Nationwide already lends up to 6.5 times income for like-for-like remortgages. This means applicants do not borrow more money when they remortgage.
Existing Nationwide borrowers and 6 times salary mortgages
Existing Nationwide clients could now borrow up to six times their income, when moving home, or borrowing more.
There is no minimum income level, so a borrower with an eligible income of £50,000 could now borrow up to £300,000. An uplift of £25,000.
Clients who took a Helping Hand mortgage when it was launched in 2021, will now start to come to the end of their deal. So, if they’re looking to move to a new property or stay in their current one, this change may well help them again. This scheme enables some first-time buyers to borrow up to 6 times their salary with a 5% deposit. Nationwide supported 23k first-time buyers via Helping Hand in the last 12 months – up 53% annually.
