Dammit in reply to @bobble

HSBC (who I bank with) offered me 5x my salary a few months ago. I then went to a mortgage broker 3-4 weeks ago for a more competitive offering rate wise and they were shocked that I got offered so much. Is 5x salary not the standard offering and has anyone been told they can borrow a lot less since the crisis started when their agreement in principle was up for renewal?

Taken a 10% pay deferral for the rest of the year which will almost certainly make my agreement in principle be revised downwards anyway. Best laid plans...

The online HSBC tool gives a straight 5x your salary when you enter it.

£100k seems to be the salary at which it starts offering 5x

Nope, I was 65k and at 95% LTV.
