2 years ago I bought an investment property in turkey, the bank I was with would only accept an Irish property as security on the mortgage, therefore I ended up using my mother’s apartment as security, at the time I was told because it was a foreign property I did not qualify for interest relief on my mortgage, (Fair enough)

Now I’m applying for a mortgage for my own home and have being told by my bank I don’t qualify for the best mortgage rate as I not a first time buyer (Fair enough) but they are also telling me because its my second property I don’t qualify for interest relief ?

Meaning I don’t receive any interest relief?

Can anyone shed some light on the situation, should I be entitled to at least claim interest relief on my mother re-mortgaged apartment? What are my potions?

thanks
