hi guys
id like your opinion please.
Male aged 31. 2 dependants (my partner and our 4 year old).
In full time permanent work for 3.5 years, very secure private sector employment with prospects. (Prior to this I was on the dole for about a year.)
3 years ago took a job with salary €25k to get a foot in the door. thankfully things are going great, very secure job, salary now €40k plus €8333 guaranteed bonus, nett take home €2550. (since november pay rise).
I want to buy a house beside work for €55k. My dad will give me the deposit. I have a couple of grand in my current account. Have been paying rent of €825 in kildare for a few years now and have not managed to save but am in a better position since my raise.
I wondered as the mortgage is so small, around 1 years salary if the lack of savings would be a huge deal? I dont want to make applications and get turned down and have black marks on my ICB.
My debts are a car loan of €9000, outgoing €215 per month. I will be moving beside work and saving around €400 on diesel costs as I have quite the commute at present.
Also...about a year ago (salary was €34k) applied to my bank AIB for loan to buy house of €60k and they declined me. They were very positive in the pre screening call and discussions so thats why I applied. During my student years I missed a few student loan payments and they have clearly held it against me. Not wise, I know. Afraid that will now be on my ICB.
My other option is to go rent near work (around €750pm) and start saving the commuting costs and try again later. I just didnt want to keep paying more rent, and this house seems like a great buy. My repayments would be very small, half of what i pay in rent now and no more diesel bills
