Benefits Of using a mortgage broker

Expat mortgages can be complex financial agreements when you are non resident. Its important to have an advisor who can get all the paperwork sorted and communicate across timezones.

A mortgage advisor will then arrange to speak with you at a convenient time to guide you through the application process and discuss your personal mortgage rates. This is to take into account any difference in time zones.

Jargon buster for expat mortgage applicants

We explain the most common jargon terms used when talking about mortgages for expat home buyers in plain simple to understand language.

30% minimum of the property loan value is required as a deposit before you can apply for a mortgage.

For example, if you wish to purchase a house valued at €200,000 you will need a deposit of at least €60,000

AIP is short for Approval in Principle.

Its a non legally binding opinion from our first conversation about your finances to give you an indication of how much you might be able to borrow for a property.

LTV is short for Loan to Value. This is the amount of money you can borrow based on the asking price of the property.

A first time buyer can borrow up to 90% of the value of a property and a 2nd time buyer can borrow up to 80% of the value of a property.

The standard variable rate is the main mortgage rate charged by your lender. It is the long term rate of interest that your mortgage will switch to once your introductory fixed rate period has ended.

A variable rate mortgage means your monthly repayments can go up aswell as down based on European interest rates and your mortgage lender.
