Wondering how much you can borrow on an Islamic mortgage? Whether it’s your first home or your next home, it’s a natural question before you start contacting providers. We’ve done the hard work and spoken to industry contacts to get the figures for you.
Here’s the list of the main lenders and how much you can borrow with them. We’ll keep this updated regularly.
How much can you borrow with Al Rayan?

How much can you borrow with Gatehouse Bank?

What does this mean for you?
You can calculate your expected loan as follows:
Single Applications
- Take your annual salary
- Work out your monthly commitments. Then multiply by 12.
- Subtract your annual salary from your annual commitments.
- Multiply that figure by 4.5 if you’re going with Gatehouse Bank or by 4.99 if you’re going with Al Rayan.
Joint Applications
- Take your annual salary
- Work out your monthly commitments. Then multiply by 12 to work out your annual commitments.
- Subtract your annual salary from your annual commitments.
- Multiply by 4.5 (this works for both Gatehouse Bank and Al Rayan).

Subtract commitments from salary: £45,600 – £600 = £45,000
Multiply that figure by 4.99 for Al Rayan or 4.5 for Gatehouse gives you: £224,550 and £202,500 respectively
That’s the max you can borrow. Add on your deposit to see the max value of the house you can afford
