On a mid-range Kings Langley property at the average of £500,000 with a 10 percent deposit of 50,000, you need a mortgage of 450,000. Monthly repayments on a 25-year term sit between 150 and 187 depending on rate. At 4.5 times income you need a household income of 100,000. At 5.5 times with a specialist lender that drops to 81,818 — a gap of 18,182 in required income that is entirely determined by which lender you apply to. A 5 percent deposit of 25,000 is possible with 95 percent LTV products, though rates are higher. We model every scenario for Kings Langley buyers and recommend the approach that balances monthly cost, rate and deposit.
