Trying to get a mortgage with existing investment properties

hi All
hoping someone can help me with this. I have 2 investment properties with my 2 brothers and sister:
a 4 bed apartment in rathmines worth ~€300k with €207k on the mortgage
a 2 bed in Limerick worth ~€50k with €147 on the mortgage (I know!!!!)

The combined rent from these two apartment meets thecombined mortgage repayments and they are both on tracker mortgages.

When I went to the bank to enquire about a mortgage for myself (~€220 on a salary for €63k with a €55k deposit) I was turned down because they view me as being liable for the full debt on the 2 apartments, i.e €354k not a quarter of it. So if I added a €220k mortgage to it I'd be exposed to over €500k which is WAY more than 4 times my salary.

Clearly my siblings are going to encounter the same problem if they want to buy a house.

My question is, is there anyway around this dilemma?

many thanks
Shona
 
I would think the only way around it is to sell either one of the properties (presumably the one with equity in it) or have your siblings buy you out of one or both properties.
