When can you switch?

  • If you need to borrow extra money for an extension, moving house, etc.
  • If you want to change the conditions on your mortgage, such as mortgage term.
  • If you have been able to meet your mortgage repayments.
  • If the property is not in negative equity, i.e. more than 80% loan to value.

BUY-TO-LET

Planning your finances and selecting the ideal property are the keys to a profitable buy to let investment, regardless of whether you are just beginning or extending your existing rental portfolio. The following step is to arrange financing for a purchase.

We’ll submit your application to a number of lenders through our network of all major Irish lenders and then show you a clear picture of your options.

Mortgages for investment properties are unique in that the affordability requirements are mostly dependent on the anticipated monthly revenue from renting the property to a tenant. The application procedure therefore heavily relies on the property’s location, dimensions, and value. We have extensive experience in the buy-to-let sector and so we understand what information the banks want. We help you present a strong application and successfully secure the finance you need for your investment property.

Every day we help single people, couples and families with new mortgage applications, switching lenders for a better deal, moving to new homes, refinancing and equity release, investment property purchasing and businesses looking to invest in new premises.

Client Testimonials

“The whole experience was so professional and assuring. Unlike other financial consultants where we felt spoken down to with way too much vagueness. It was the complete opposite with askpaul.”

“I have contacted other financial planners in the past but was told they only deal with people of a salary 100k plus. I found this service exceptional where anyone can get advice regardless of their salaries.”

“I booked the consultation only looking to talk about investments and Ian helped us with income protection, investment, savings and spending plans. We got a lot out of the consultation.”

“Darren went above and beyond. Seemed like he genuinely had our best interest at heart. Did not feel rushed at all.”

“The projection software was super, it was really cool to be able to see what the next 59 years looked like financially and what would happen if one income was gone.”

“It was a real eye opener and everything I need is taken into consideration. I felt everything was geared towards my success and not that of the advisor.”

“I now have very realistic goals to work towards and know that I can trust the advice I was given. I feel comfortable and confident entering 2021 with a plan.”
