How you might be able to borrow more than this

Here's the secret: Some lenders use more sophisticated credit rating methods, where they examine your income and your outgoings. The idea is that every borrower has unique circumstances. Someone with teenage children and high outgoings can't afford to borrow as much as a singleton earning the same salary.

Sometimes people are lent five times income.
