- 4.61%–5.49% starting illustrative rate by LTVBank of England weighted quoted rates for two-year fixed mortgages
- 30-year starting repayment termIllustrative product assumption
- Continuing monthly commitments are deducted from annual income before the 4.5× illustrationFCA rules require lenders to account for committed expenditure, but each lender uses its own affordability method
