Enquiring for advice for a friend.

He owns a house in another EU country and is paying a mortgage there of approximately 550 euro per month (15+ years remaining).:).

He is now looking to get a mortgage in Ireland. Good income, has the deposit, meets standard mortgage requirements, etc.

The question is:
1) Will this mortgage abroad prevent him getting a mortgage in this country
2) If not, will a bank here view this monthly outgoing the same as another outgoing (e.g. a similar sized car loan) when calculating what they are willing to approve

Thanks

Has he rental income from the property abroad? Is it covering the mortgage payments?

If he has no rental income, then I imagine that they would reduce the amount they would lend him by the size of the mortgage he already has.

If he wants to buy a home in Ireland, he should consider selling the overseas property and focusing his attention on Ireland.
 
I'm in a slightly different situation and would appreciate guidance. We have our owner occupied property overseas and wish to purchase a property in Ireland again for owner occupation. I am not paid in Euro. I understand EU regs/guidance places hurdles in the way of securing a mortgage from an Irish bank. Are there options available from mortgage providers that operate internationally?

Thank you for your advice.
H.
