What is the standard Income multiplier for mortgages in Perth? Say one parent was earning in the region of 120K with (2 + 2 family)? Second parent may work part time - no idea of salary for part time cashier / bookeeper 9am to 2pm (school hours)

I'm not quite sure what you mean, but.. Average house price in Perth is around $460K. The average (not median) full-time adult earnings is around $72K. An oft-quoted ball park figure is that you shouldn't use more than 25% of your income towards repayments (some say 30%, but accounting for interest rate rises. Having tried the 30%, without kids, I'd go the 25%). Most people buy a home as a couple with two incomes, as housing is very expensive here.
