How can a mortgage broker help?

- Access a wide range of lenders and mortgages and compare mortgage deals to find the best mortgage for your financial situation
- Help you prepare the documents you need to support your application, check your paperwork and track the progress of your application
- Communicate directly with the lender and help with any problems or delays so your application runs smoothly
- Advise on other financial products you need with your mortgage, such as life or home insurance

How much can I borrow?
The amount you can borrow depends on several things, including rules set by the Central Bank of Ireland and other factors such as your income and property cost.
Briefly, if you’re a first time buyer, the amount you can borrow is capped at four times your sole or joint annual income. Movers are limited to 3.5 times their gross annual income. This is known as the Loan to Income (LTI) limit.
Your mortgage is also subject to a 90% Loan-to-Value (LTV) limit. This means you must provide a minimum of 10% of the property value as a deposit.
