    How Much Can I Borrow?
    Lenders use different ways to work out the amount of mortgage they will give you. They take into account:
  • Your income, the type and security of your job
  • Whether you are borrowing on your own or with someone else
  • Your savings and outstanding loans
  • Your credit history and rating
  • Whether anyone will act as guarantor
  • The value of the property you want to buy

  • As a general rule, most lenders will try to make sure that your mortgage repayments plus any other loan repayments you have don't go above 40% of your monthly take-home pay. Most Irish lenders will lend up to 92% of the property value or purchase price. You can repay a mortgage over any period between 10 and 40 years, provided the mortgage is repaid before age 70.
    Due to the recent global credit crunch and property market slowdown, lenders have imposed stricter lending criteria on customers.
