Can someone answer this question for me please: I'm thinking of buying a house - mortgage would be in region of €60- 70k. My parents have offered to go guarantor as financially they're secure etc etc but from a quick google banks don't accept this anymore. Is this true. I haven't made any official enquiries yet as it's very early days yet. TBH I don't I'd ever get approval for a mortgage. I've a permanent full time job but would not be on big salary. My partner is the same. We pay rent of €100 every week but it's a cash basis so have no proven record of renting :-( I've some savings but not major. We've been covering this rent with 3 years. Due to certain reasons I'd probably be applying singly but due to small salary I'd say they'd only laugh at me.
