What specific question do you have or what issues are of concern to you?
We wish to buy a home c. July/August 2019 and are researching before we go to a bank.
Specific questions are:
a) How will a bank view us as a couple (one who has a mortgage already and paying off without issue and the other who owns property abroad (but no mortgage) for a deposit. I understand second time buyers require 20% and first time 10%. Are there exceptions to this - i.e., a case to be made for 15% deposit?
b) The value of a new home we are looking for we are limiting to E100 to E150k and we are not afraid of refurbishment. Would there be any issues with us asking for a mortgage in this range based on above? How is the mortgage on the apartment of second time buyer viewed in terms of approval in principle sum? Is it better not to have a mortgage at all (i.e., sell?).
Apologies for the basic questions. Any insights into couples with differing circumstances and how the central bank rules apply to this would be very welcome.
Thanks.
