| Movie characters have often been featured living in some of the world’s most iconic – and expensive – locations around the world.
But could they have actually afforded them? A UK mortgage advice website recently conducted some research to find out – and according to onlinemortgageadvisor.co.uk’s managing director, Pete Mugleston, there were some characters who were in well over their heads.
“As we immerse ourselves within fantasy worlds of cliffhangers and ‘happily ever afters’, it’s easy to forget how unrealistic these scenarios would actually be in the real world,” he said.
“We wanted to find out if, behind those rose-tinted glasses, they would be hiding a low credit score and needing a mortgage with bad credit.”
In order to calculate the debt, onlinemortgageadvisor.co.uk looked at the following for each character: estimated income before tax, property value, monthly mortgage payment (based on a 30-year deal, 4 per cent interest rate and 10 per cent deposit) and monthly rent (if not buying).
