Do Irish banks lend for houses in England

[colc1]

Hi guys,

I was just on to PTSB who say they dont lend to people buying a home in England, do any Irish bank lend for this purpose. Why would the others have a different attitude? Will English banks lend to Irish people buying in England? I have a Northern Rock account here would that be of any use to me applying to their UK operation for a mortgag for example?

Any help greatly appreciated,

The English banks have no problem with taking on Irish based borrowers.

speak with Capital Homeloans (Permanent TSB subsidiary) in Isle of Man also. They do mortgages for Uk properties also; rates a bit keener than IIBs but with more stringent criteria to qualify in general (e.g. 125% rental cover)

First Trust which has branch in Newry do a 90% loan to value for the first time buy to let investors. Interest rate is I think 1.25% above base rate and there are set up fees of about £650 stg.

We found them the most competitive and they are very pleasant to deal with and seem to be very keen on getting the business
