Are you dealing? It's just that there are'nt many industries that employ 15yo'sI'm 24 and my job (even though I've worked in the company since 1997) wouldn't be deemed 'secure' enough for a lot of banks.
I doubt it, if there was a scam going on it would not be broadcast on National TellytheBatMan said:The only reason she was given the chance to purchase the house was because she was on the programme.

I make nearly €60,000 a year, I'm 24 and my job (even though I've worked in the company since 1997) wouldn't be deemed 'secure' enough for a lot of banks.
The most a broker could offer me was €255,000!!!! It's just the way the mortgage world works.. it's not fair!
All down to public sector employment stability and the power of the unions!! The nurse can still pay back her 45 yr mortgage with her generous pension!The point of the thread was about affordable housing, my point was that even though I earn a lot more than the nurse in question, the bank offered me a lot less on a euro for euro basis!

Will it go against me if I say that I'm currently living with my Dad in a 5 bedroom house ? I only moved home to save money.
Thanks

Just make sure you're ready to move as she only applied for it at end of Jan and already has a deposit on a place and expects to be in by July
Lappy said:Agreed. And I think that although it's unfair, generally, you'll earn more in the private sector. Maybe that's the reason two people felt the need to question me - they're civil servants!!
