Mortgage in 40's?

Has anyone here got a mortgage for a home in their 40's?

I'm 36 and just finished a degree that will hopefully give me a good wage of 40K within the next few years. I houseshare and I'm single right now.

I want my own home, preferably a 2 bed. I would imagine this would be between 290-350k.

Is getting a mortgage at 40 odd too old?

Mortgage repayments would be high but atleast there's some security and will no longer have to houseshare with much younger people.
