No doubt this question has been asked before but im still unclear on it.In the old days it was simple 3.5 times earnings.Unsure on my current situation.I earn
30 000 euro gross, 26 000 per year net.I have no expenses execept 15 euro pm to concern and 12.50 euro pm to an ssia.I would hope to get a tracker variable or standard variable over 26 years.I am a 38 yr old single applicant and first time buyer.I would like to know the maximum banks would be likely to advance me,i would be unlikely to borrow the maximum but as they say knowledge is power.Im looking at the brocheurs for 2 and 3 bed semi dei's in longford town,prices 150k to 186k am i in the right ball park or deluding myself any feedback would be appreciated.
Should mention that im looking for one of the new 100 % mortgages,i'l try aib first im a long time customer.the worst they can do is say no right ! If they give me the door it's of to first active i go.
 
Hi Elvis67

looking at new 100% criteria from First Active & Ulster Bank, based on a 26 year plan I would etimate your borrowing capacity to be €167,700, however if you stretch it out to a 30 year term (which you can) this would rise to €180,700

PTSB still to launch finer details of their product this week so this might change for you

Hi,

You should not have a problem with the 100% mortgage based on your salary, and the property price you are looking at. First Active, and Ulster bank are doing 100%, PTSB still to give details. I have a feeling AIB will show you the door as they have not mentioned anything about 100%.

Irrespective of what bank will say they will lend you, ultimatley it's your responsibility to repay. Make sure you are comfortable with repayment amount. Also make sure you would be comfortable with repayments if interest rates rise by say 1.5% to 2%.
