Obtaining a Mortgage

From application to completion, Irish Mortgage Corporation will be there for you.

Our advisors will learn about your specific needs to provide a range of options.

Following is a summary of those services we provide to first time buyers:

  • Taking client information and assisting with application completion.
  • Analysing prospective clients income and debt and pre-qualifying the prospective client to determine the maximum mortgage they can afford.
  • Educating clients in the home buying and financing process, advising on various loan products, and demonstrating how monthly payments could vary under each product.
  • Assisting with the collection of financial information (income documents, bank statements) and other related documents which form part of the application process.
  • Advising clients on documentation required to progress loan applications including verification of employment and verifications of deposit.
  • Providing life insurance options and assisting on all relevant application details.
  • Maintaining regular contact with you, the solicitor, and lender from application to close, to appraise the status of the application and gather any additional information as needed ensuring mortgage closes at or near the required closing date.
  • Continuous client service after mortgage drawdown.

Even if you are not ready to obtain a mortgage now, we can advise you on what will be needed for a mortgage assessment and give you an indication of how much you can borrow so you know your spending level and prepare you for a mortgage in the future (see our top tips).

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 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 months of statements for assessment (both bank and credit card)  – make sure to keep your bank accounts well maintained.
    • Savings and rent clearly evidenced
    • Avoid missed payments, referral charges, or constantly being overdrawn.
  • Set up a high interest savings account for regular savings
  • Avoid short term and credit card debt where possible
