The update will come in on Monday. It is up from five times income borrowers in this bracket were previously able to borrow.
Over the course of this year, a number of lenders have increased the income multiples for those on higher salaries.
This included Metro Bank which widened borrowing limits for those earning more than £100,000 to five times their income. Barclays also adjusted its limits, allowing customers with a gross income of £75,000 to borrow up to five times their income. This was a similar move to Ipswich Building Society, which raised multiples to 5.5 for those earning £75,000 and more per year.
Speaking to Mortgage Solutions, HSBC said despite the change it would still look at all applications individually to ensure affordability is met.
