Whether you are buying your first home, moving or reviewing your existing mortgage, you have a choice: approach lenders yourself or work with a mortgage broker.

Applying directly is an option. But comparing lenders, understanding their criteria and managing the paperwork can take considerable time. More importantly, it can be difficult to know whether you have considered the options most suited to your circumstances.

At Irish Mortgage Corporation, our role is to remove the guesswork, take on the legwork and help you move forward with confidence.

Clear advice, without the jargon

Mortgages come with unfamiliar terms, lending rules and decisions that can affect your finances for years to come.

Our advisors explain these in plain English, from fixed and variable rates to loan-to-value ratios, repayment terms and overpayment options. We take time to answer your questions so you understand what you are choosing and why it may suit you.

You do not need to arrive knowing everything about mortgages. That is what we are here to help with.

More lenders, a clearer view of your options

Different lenders can assess the same application differently. Your income, employment, deposit, and future plans may make one lender more suitable than another.

Rather than researching and approaching lenders separately, you can work with an advisor who reviews options across our lender panel and explains how they compare. Our assessment looks beyond the headline rate to consider your circumstances and how each lender is likely to view your application.

Depending on your priorities, we may consider:

The aim is not simply to find a mortgage you qualify for. It is to identify an option that fits your needs now and supports your longer-term plans.

A structured journey, with people beside you

Our five-step mortgage process provides a clear path from initial assessment through formal assessment, mortgage protection, loan offer, and drawdown.

Behind that process is a team of advisors and completions specialists who help prepare your application, check documentation, respond to lender queries and keep things moving. Our client stories show the value of this coordinated support, including liaising with banks and solicitors as applications progress.

Our digital mortgage platform complements that personal service, giving you a secure place to submit information and engage with your application. Technology makes the administration easier; our people help you understand the decisions along the way.

What does it cost?

Our mortgage advice service is free to clients. We receive commission from the lender when your mortgage successfully completes, rather than charging you for our advice and case management.

You will still need to budget for the usual costs associated with buying or switching, such as legal fees, valuation fees and, where relevant, a survey or fixed-rate breakage charge. These are separate from our advisory service.

Your advisor can explain the applicable costs and how we are paid before you proceed.

Support beyond the first mortgage decision

A mortgage is a long-term commitment, but the product you choose today may not remain the most suitable option forever.

As your circumstances change or your fixed-rate period approaches its end, a review can help you understand whether to stay with your existing lender or consider switching. Our team can compare available options, explain potential savings, and account for the upfront costs of moving lenders.

Sometimes switching will make sense. Sometimes staying put will be the right decision. What matters is making that choice with a clear understanding of your options.

Take the next step

Doing your research is a good place to start. Speaking with an experienced advisor can help turn that research into a practical plan.
