    Does anyone know how banks decide on how much they will lend you?

    Is it x times both you and your partners salary?

    yes in principal, go to a broker for the details..
    also v important is ur ability to repay so the multiples are irrelevant if u are already up to ur t*ts in short term debt eg cars/holdays etc

    Some mortgage websites have a Mortgage calculator which may help:
