Central Bank rules: first-time buyers up to 4× income; movers 3.5×; 10% deposit. Limited exemptions apply.

How Irish mortgages work, in short

Two limits shape what you can buy. The loan-to-income rule caps borrowing at four times gross income for first-time buyers (3.5 times for others). The deposit rule requires at least 10% of the price. Within those, your monthly repayment depends on the rate and the term you choose.

Rate, term and the total cost

A longer term lowers the monthly payment but means you pay far more interest overall. A lower rate cuts both. It's worth modelling a few combinations above before you talk to a lender or broker — and checking your take-home pay so the repayment fits your real monthly budget.
