Where the rate bands sit on a Guiseley purchase

The monthly difference is real. Borrowing 95% costs about £1,694 a month on our illustration, against £1,516 at 85%. That is £2,140 a year, before any rate difference between the bands is counted.
An income requirement around £68,000 is reachable for two working households and a stretch for one. The deposit usually decides it.
