FAQ

Should I be sale agreed on my own property before applying to buy a new one?
Not necessarily but as part of the initial application, in most cases the balance of funds required to purchase the new home will come, in part anyway, from the sale of your existing home. You will therefore need to be sale agreed before drawing down on the new mortgage. This doesn’t apply if you plan on renting your existing property, subject to affordability.
Can I also avail of the Help to Buy (HTB)?
Short answer, no. Once you own or have previously owned a property in Ireland or abroad, you cannot avail of the HTB.
