Top Tips
Where are you now and where do you want to be?
- Get an indication of how much you can borrow which will be a based on the following:
- Income
- Repayment Capacity
- A combination of savings/rent for the last six months will indicate the monthly amount you can afford in mortgage payments.
- 6 month statements for assessment (both bank and credit card) keep your bank accounts well maintained.
- Savings and rent clearly evidenced
- Avoid missed payments, referral charges, constantly being overdrawn.
- Set up a high interest savings account for regular savings
- Avoid short term and credit card debt where possible
We have integrated the CreditLogic streamlined loan application system to provide a very quick and informative appraisal of your options.

What does it mean to remortgage?
When we talk about remortgaging our property we are focused very clearly on a property remortgage in Ireland - significantly different from many of our neighbours.
So to be clear when we say remortgage we mean changing the interest rate, the term of the mortgage, the type of mortgage or any of the conditions attached to the mortgage. Often when people think of remortgaging they are looking to reduce the monthly payment that they make - this is a perfectly reasonable outcome, but is not the only one!
It is also important to understand that remortgaging is not the same as switching mortgage - both looking to remortgage your loan or switch to another lender are valid options you need to look at what is the best option for you.
We are living in extraordinary times - there are issues we cannot control, but there are others that we most definitely can.
Why can I remortgage?
If we live in a house that we own with a mortgage, or own one or more properties that we let to others we may NOT be getting the best deal on that mortgage:
- the original loan will have been based on a Loan to Value at that time - it is very likely that this will have changed - our house may be worth more, and we may owe less - so for our lender we have become a much better risk and they may be able to apply a different rate.
- Our circumstances may have changed - we may have been in the same job for longer, got a promotion, a pay rise or some share options or bonuses - gain this may affect the way we are looked at by a lender.
- We may be thinking of staying where we are for longer, investing in extending our property rather than moving, starting or adding to a family - this may mean we would consider extending the term of our mortgage, so spreading the cost into the future.
No matter what your current situation is it would be good to talk through the options available, and now may be the best time to look at it - there are plenty of choices and the lenders and Irish Mortgage Corporation are very much open for business.
