How borrowing works locally
Joint applications combine two incomes and two sets of obligations in the same assessment.
A lender is free to set its own price below the legal ceiling, and it does so according to the risk it reads in the file. Variable-rate products move with a reference rate, while fixed-rate products set the price for a defined term.
