    What is the minimum income needed to get a mortgage

    We're just spit balling here. It's a pity because we have a solid deposit but I quit my job to take care of the lil hooman so now we're renting and the rent would be 3x the amount of a mortgage repayment. Guess we'll need to wait until I get back to work, wait a year and then reapply

    Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) Limits Query

    If we work within the rules as you put it we wont get any help at all and will be homeless in two months. The max bracket for rent that they allow us is €1270. That's the official mark, the €1500 is under extreme circumstances (TD letter etc) that they can stretch it to. Now with that in mind...

    French Mortgage over an Irish one?

    Just to come back here (O.P here) it seems like Credit Mutuel are the only people who do this in France. We have to use a property in France as security (the missus' Mums house) but in the end the rate is %1.7. We can also get a tracker also. Seems like the way to go, so fingers crossed

    What are the finacial constraints of transffering a deed?

    Yeah thanks guys you are both on the 'money'. I got a bit excited seeing the savings with Haven without really going into all the details. We're going to go with Ulster as they allow us named on the mortgaged so it means we can start to build up a credit history for the future. Thanks for all...

    What are the finacial constraints of transffering a deed?

    UBs rate is 4.9 there or around. Havens rate is €200 cheaper a month, or €2400 a year or €50000 over the twenty years. That sums kinda changes everything. Our sister is using her income to get a better mortgage for us as ours falls short of what we require. We've tried all the banks in Ireland...
