According to Niall Brady
Bank of Ireland and Permanent TSB have begun turning down house-buyers seeking to borrow more than three-and-a-half times their earnings, in the first signs of how mortgage providers are reacting to the squeeze on earnings caused by the coronavirus crisis.
PTSB has issued a blanket ban from April 2 on all mortgage applications requiring an exemption from the Central Bank of Ireland’s lending rules. The rules require borrowers to have deposits of up to 20% and cap mortgages at three-and-a-half times their incomes. Exemptions are allowed for borderline applicants.
