Hi,
Apologies for the personalised post but I'm worried and would like some help based on your financial expertise and hard-earned experience. I'm a youngish (26),single guy and recently my parents suggested on buying a second-hand house. So we've decided to look at purchasing a 3 bedroomed house, which is priced at €317,500 in the Maynooth region. Now my monthly salary is around €1800 and the bank will forward me €200,000. My parents will use some of the farm to provide security for the remainder of the price after the deposit.
Now what worries me greatly is that am I extending myself too far here? I might get around €600 in rent and the bank will give me a 39 year mortgage of €1068 per month. I have no other debts but I'll need to get furniture and a car. I have around €15,000 savings in my credit union. I'm not sure about mortgage relief or any other benefits I might receive.
So in a nutshell, I'm asking for advice. What would you do? Would you pull the trigger and hope all is well for the next few years or should I hold back until I'm more prepared(whatever that means) and more older?
Thanks in advance
