Using a mortgage broker can save you time, effort, and money by streamlining the mortgage process and helping you find the most suitable mortgage option for your needs. However, it's important to choose a reputable and experienced mortgage broker who will prioritize your best interests.
The maximum loan-to-income (LTI) ratio for a mortgage in Ireland is 4 times your gross annual income for first-time buyers and 3.5 times for second-time buyers.
This means that if you and your partner are first-time buyers with a combined gross annual income of €60,000, you can borrow up to €240,000 for a mortgage. If you are second-time buyers with the same income, you can borrow up to €210,000.
However, there are a few exceptions to these rules. Lenders are allowed to exceed the maximum LTI for a certain percentage of home loans. This is on a case by case basis and once the allowed quota has been exceeded this option will no longer be available for the remainder of the financial year.
