Calculation Methods

Monthly payments use standard annuity formula: M = P[r(1+r)^n]/[(1+r)^n-1], where P=loan amount, r=monthly rate, n=months. Affordability caps at 4.49x joint income minus commitments, adjusted by region (e.g., London 1.25x uplift). LTV = (value-deposit)/value; HSBC max 95% first-time, 90% movers. Overpayments reduce term via adjusted amortisation [web:1][web:2].
