Official statistical benchmark + rule-based calculation · not a lending decision
Can we afford to buy in Nuneaton and Bedworth?
The area’s official average price and residents’ median pay first, then plain arithmetic for your household: deposit, loan, monthly repayment at a rate you choose, and the multiple of your gross income the loan would be. Lenders apply their own tests; none is modelled here.

Rule-based calculation · £230,734 at 10% deposit, 5% over 25 years
£1,214 a month
Deposit £23,073 · loan £207,661 · 5.9 times gross household pay of £35,000
That is 51% of net household pay of £2,393 a month under the 2026/27 rules. The 5% rate is a placeholder you should replace with a real quote: no official average mortgage rate is loaded on this site. Repayment mortgage, fixed rate for the whole term, no fees, no stamp duty.
