Hi i was wondering if anyone had same problem as me or knows an easy solution?
I am hvaing a bit of financial difficulty.
I purchased an apartment on the 'Affordable Housing Initiave' scheme a year ago & was delighted. I then rang my mortgage lender to enquire about future top up's to mortgage.
I was told i could top up after 6 months & we went through figures & all seemed very much do-able & promising.
With this in mind i then fit-out my new apartment to the value of €20k on credit. After 6 months i rang bank to organise a top up to cancel the credit card bill & get on with living in my new apartment.
I was then told by the bank that those people that have purchased an affordable housing initiative home are not eligible for a top up.
This has put me in a terrible financial situation & i cannot manage to reduce the debt.
Although the bank really wanted to help me because of the misunderstanding on their employees side, ther is nothing they can do because they are tied to an agreement with the council.
At this stage the only way out i can see is sell my apartment, take my money & look for a cheaper place. The Council will lose approx 90k as the price of the properties plummetted just like everywhere else.
has anyone encountered a similar situation?
Any advice or direction would be most appreciated!!!!
