Tips on Finding the Right Mortgage
What is the ‘Right Mortgage’?
Tara Kelly, Mortgage Manager at the Mortgage Shop, shared a few crucial pieces of advice with Regina:
- It’s always wise to shop around. Remember your own bank may not provide the kind of mortgage that you require, e.g. self build, buy to rent etc.
- Just because your savings are with a bank does not mean they have the right mortgage for you. Be prepared to change banks to find the best deal in the market.
- It is a good idea to visit a couple of reputable mortgage advisors – be sure to choose those that do not charge a fee to you.
- Do your calculations carefully – just a quarter of a percent difference on your mortgage could cost you €25,000 extra over the life of the mortgage (based on a €200K mortgage over 35 years)
Research is very important when buying a home but purchasers seem not to do the same amount of research when considering a mortgage. Some sage advice at this stage of the home buying purchase could save you thousands over the course of a mortgage.
