home loans - How Much Can I borrow?
Two
factors essentially are taken into account in establishing
the amount to be borrowed:
Loan
to Value (LTV):
Generally a bank will lend 92% of the purchase price of a proprty (i.e.
LTV 92%). So therefore in purchasing a house costing €200,000, the bank
could provide up to €184,000 of the purchase price leaving
the applicant with a €16,000 deposit due.
Affordability:
All loan applications are individually assessed on the basis
of how much after tax income is available for loan repayments
and meet financial commitments including standard household
expenditure.
Mortgage repayment as a percentage of after tax income should
generally fall within range of 30% - 45%.
The standard household expenditure* is deemed to be to the
order of 1600 per month for a single person and 2200 for
two people. The figures include 254 per month towards the
cost of running a car. The figure should be increased by 165
for a single dependant and by 100 for every additional child
or dependent.
For those earning additional income please be sure to mention
it to us as this will be taken into account to provide you
with the maximum loan possible, where required.

Approval in Advance:
If you have not yet decided on the property you wish to purpose
you should apply to us for a Loan Approval Certificate. It
costs you nothing to do so, and is a good way to get started.
Having a Loan Approval Certificate can put you in better position
to negotiate with anyone selling their property as they will
know you have approval for the amount shown on your certificate.
Therefore apply for your Loan Approval Certificate now and
that should put you in a better position when you go to purchase.
When you have decided on the property you are purchasing we
can get you an agreement in principal before providing the
necessary documents or incurring any particular costs in relation
to your loan application.
To avail of this facility please complete Application
in Principal Form.
