Hi,
Grateful for any thoughts on the following.
I have a house in Dublin that is worth 375k conservatively, with about 110k left on the mortgage. The mortgage rate is 2.75% or similar with AIB. This is my principal primary residence.
My partner and I jointly own a property outside Dublin (both on mortgage) which we intend to move to in the the longer term, with an outstanding loan of 190k on the property. It is her principal primary residence (we will be getting married in the near future). The mortgage rate is 3% with AIB. She lives there full time.
What I would like to do is release equity from the Dublin house, say 190k, to pay off the second mortgage. This would bring the LTV for the Dublin house to <=80% (300k). I can cover the outstanding loan on my own salary alone.
My reason for wanting to do this is that we will be based in Dublin for a few years when married (she will be moving up), and I will most likely have to work in Dublin longer term which means I will need a place to stay in Dublin for a few nights midweek potentially. The additional benefit is that the mortgage interest can be offset against the rental income of the other rooms I plan to rent out when we are not living there. We will leave Dublin full time in approximately 5 years time (or so the plan is).
I spoke with my bank manager in AIB briefly, who said they don't do equity release.
If I switch banks would they allow me to top up the Dublin mortgage to clear the 2nd house mortgage?
Thanks
