What can you afford in SE1?

Enter your household income and deposit to see the maximum you could realistically offer in SE1, plus the monthly repayment that comes with it.

Most UK lenders advance around 4.5× household income and expect a deposit of at least 10% of the purchase price. Your borrowing is then repaid over a term — typically 25 years — with interest charged on the outstanding balance each month.

Worked example for SE1: on the median MoveLane list price of £675,000, a 10% deposit of £67,500 leaves a £607,500 mortgage. At 4.5% over 25 years that is about £3,377 a month, and would need a household income of roughly £135,000. Stamp duty on that price would be about £23,750 for a home mover, or £23,750 as a first-time buyer.
