I'm looking at getting a mortgage of 295,000 on a property I'm looking to buy for 660,000. I have another property which is rented out and after being stress tested by Permanent TSB I was given a net income percentage of 48% and they say they need a minimum of 55%. As a result they're only prepared to give me a mortgage of 255,000.
I'm just wondering if anyone knows if any of the other banks would lend more money, given the low LTV and the fact that I'm looking for less than 3.5 times my salary, and also if I'd be better going through the banks directly or via a broker?
