Work out how much you can borrow based on your income and deposit size.
The “How Much Can I Borrow?” calculator provides a helpful estimate based on your input of financial details, such as income and outgoings.
While it uses standard mortgage lending principles, the actual amount you can borrow will depend on more detailed affordability assessments conducted by lenders, including credit checks and individual circumstances.
Therefore, the calculator should be viewed as a guide, and speaking directly to a mortgage advisor will give you a more tailored figure.
The mortgage application process can vary depending on your situation and chosen lender.
Typically, from submitting your application to receiving an offer, it can take anywhere from two to six weeks.
This timeline includes securing a decision in principle, undergoing credit checks, and the lender reviewing your financial details and documentation.
Getting a mortgage with bad credit can be more challenging, but it’s not impossible.
Some lenders offer specialist products for those with adverse credit histories, such as missed payments or County Court Judgements (CCJs).
Keep in mind that you may need a larger deposit, and interest rates could be higher than for applicants with a clean credit record.
To apply for a mortgage, you’ll typically need to provide proof of income (such as payslips or tax returns for the self employed), bank statements, and proof of identity and address.
Lenders may also ask for details about any existing loans or debts, as well as your monthly expenses to assess your affordability.
Yes, working with a mortgage broker can simplify the home-buying process and help you find the most suitable mortgage deal.
As a broker, we have access to a wide panel of lenders, including specialist options that might not be available directly to you.
We guide you through every step, from finding the most suitable rates to managing your application, ensuring you get the right mortgage for your unique circumstances.

First time buyer who felt like a rabbit in the headlights with all things Mortgages and the house buying process in general but Leedsmoneyman and Matt Collinson specifically have been so helpful and really put me at ease. Matt and the team have given me regular updates, broke things down to cut through jargon and gave a real impression of them caring about getting me a great mortgage. Cannot recommend enough and I thank them for getting me to this position.

This is our second time using UK Moneyman, the process was so easy yet again! The communication was great from Jason and Jo throughout and they’ve helped us to get what we needed to buy our dream home! We are so so grateful for how stress free the process was after a stressful attempt at doing it directly with the lender. We can’t wait to get moving now! Thank you both again so much!

We had an outstanding experience with Leeds Money Man during our house buying process. From the very beginning, their team was professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. Buying a home can be stressful and overwhelming, but they made the entire process feel smooth and manageable. They truly took care of everything for us — guiding us step by step, explaining things clearly, and always making sure we understood what was happening. Communication was excellent throughout; they were always quick to respond, proactive with updates, and on top of every detail. It gave us real peace of mind knowing that everything was being handled so efficiently. What stood out most was how supportive and attentive they were. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and they genuinely cared about helping us secure the right mortgage and complete our purchase successfully. We’re so grateful for all their hard work and would absolutely recommend Leeds Money Man to anyone looking for mortgage advice or help with buying a home. Their expertise and dedication made a huge difference to our experience.

Dinah was fantastic throughout our whole process. Really, we have been speaking on and off for about 4 months until we eventually felt ready and out an offer in on the property we're buying. She answered all of our questions, no matter how silly they seemed and made the process a lot less stressful with us being first time buyers. She gave advice related to not just our mortgage but all the protection as well as making offers, questions to ask estate agents and explaining the whole buying process. Joe then helped us with the actual mortgage application who was also super helpful and luckily everything went through very quickly! We'd highly recommend MoneyMan and I'm sure we'll be using them in the future.

Yet again great experience with the money man mortgage brokers. Daniel was brilliant throughout the process. Professional, quick turnarounds and the outcome we wanted. Literally took all the hassle away from finding a mortgage, helpful for two busy full time working professionals. We will be using Daniel again!

Amazing service from the team at Leedsmoneyman. Was recommended them by a work colleague a couple of years ago and their support throughout our First-Time purchase was world class. Always willing to answer any question, no matter how trivial. Dinah was a star helping us with the initial stages and mortgage application, and Debbie kept us informed well up to completion. Would highly recommend for FTBer's and Experienced buyers alike.

As first-time buyers we've had a great experience with UK Money Man, especially with Jason Loft + Stacey Moss. They have been so helpful and really explained everything in detail and made the whole mortgage process feel very stress-free with no pressure either. They have been very speedy and kept us updated with everything we needed to know. For such a big and scary process as first-time buyers they have made things much easier + we'd highly recommend!

I recommend Leedsmoneyman and their services. I came to moneyman to buy my first home and had nothing but positive experiences with every member of the team, from getting my mortgage in principal, to sorting my protection insurance cover and right up until completion. Jason went above and beyond to answer all my questions from the very start, and gave me so many mortgage options and advise - even at times when I could only assume was outside of normal office hours. I was also later assisted by Amy and Louise who again, made sure all my queries were handled quickly and professionally. All three made the scary and confusing process of buying a home so much easier so thank you so much!
