Hi,

I have a meeting with AIB next week with regards approaching them on their opinion on giving us a mortgage of €400k. This is based on us first selling our current PPR (details given below), but ideally keeping the investment property (this mostly has to do with the fact that a family member also has contributed investment to the rented property)

I have outlined our details below with regards earnings, savings and current property situation. Both properties are in Dublin, with the investment in a pretty good rental location (have it consistently rented since 2007 and have never had to pay or contribute anything to the mortgage repayment since it has been rented out)

Do you think it is realistic to be able to get a mortgage of €400k based on circumstances?
What issues are the bank likely to have?
I am hoping that the good tracker rate I have on the PPR is something that will work in my favour in getting the loan.

All advise appreciated before the appointment next week.

Thanks

It is extremely hard to know as these days every application is taken on a case by case basis.
I think for your level of income by getting an additional 400k mortgage - if you can get it - you would be over exposing yourselves.
 
If you plan to have children in the near future, remember they're expensive little guys :) If your wife takes maternity leave, your monthly income could be down significantly for an extended period. After that you could be looking at expensive childcare or if one parent stays at home, a permanant drop in income.

I guess the obvious would be to use the savings+inheritance to reduce the mortgage required if you can't sell the investment?
