My boyfriend and I are first time buyers and we were advised by anyone we talked to to deal with a broker when looking for a mortgage. We went to a broker and he said no one would touch us because my boyfriend has been self-employed for just a year (I'm permanent in my job). He advised us to try one of the major banks but he didn't hold much hope. My boyfriend went into AIB yesterday and they were delighted to talk to him about a mortgage and said it would be no probem at all, our application is being processed.
Has anyone else experienced similar? Did we just go to a lazy broker? I would like to shop around but would there be any point in seeing another broker?
