Hi,
So I went sale agreed on a 1 bed apt yesterday for €250,000. Today I informed my bank and I got a complete shocker of a response. Because it was a 1 bed and not 2 bed which my application was originally for the rules are different , the LTV is 75% meaning I need a deposit of €62500 for this apt. I was approved for a max mortgage of €236,500 and I have a deposit of €30000. So today I literally ran around to 2 other main banks and explained my situation. One of them was prepared to send in an application and make an exception for me so now I gotta wait until next week to see what happens. The EA was raging but prepared to wait an extra couple of days. I was never informed of the different rules for 1 bed apt and it is not on any of the banks websites explaining this. None of the banks were able to tell me today why the rules are different for 1 bed apts can anyone explain this ?? Raging.......
Thanks,
Charlie
