I'm very new to this forum and would really appreciate advice on the following issue.
I'm a single mother of 2 kids, work full time and would like to apply for a mortgage on my own. My boys' dad pays child maintenance of €1,000 per month, my take home pay per month is €2,500. I understand after speaking to a few Irish Banks (AIB, KBC) that they do not consider the child maintenance I receive from the kids' dad as my income and would therefore not consider me a suitable candidate for a mortgage (as my wage is quite modest and I have 2 dependents).
My question is - are there any other banks in Ireland (apart from Ulster Bank) that accept child maintenance payments and child benefit as 'income' for the purposes of a mortgage application.
Any advice/info on this topic would be very much appreciated.
