    As above, on the daft.ie budget calculator it's telling me I can buy a house in the region of 750k.....this is based on me in my income, my fiances income and 175k equity from my own house if I sell....giving 575k mortgage they say we could draw down. This is well in excess of 3.5 times combined income.

    Now luckily I don't need anything like that, I just need a mortgage of about 230k if I sell my own and use the equity.

    Where are they getting the figures from? Do banks lend more if LTV is low? I thought it was 3.5 times regardless

    Those calculators tend to be inaccurate. It’s a ploy to get you in the door of the bank. The only accurate way to know how much you can borrow, is to make an application.

    Yeah was just wondering how the figure was so high. If we do what we are planning we only need about 200k to 230k for a 450k house so we are well able to borrow that. Just bit shocked daft calculator putting us up in the 750k bracket
