Credit History:
Authorization for the lender to access your credit report.
Explanations for any significant derogatory marks on your credit report, if applicable.
Bank Statements:
Recent bank statements for the past two to three months to verify your assets and demonstrate your ability to cover the down payment and closing costs.
Debt Information:
A list of your current debts, including credit cards, student loans, car loans, and any other outstanding loans.
Proof of Down Payment:
Documentation showing the source of your down payment, such as savings, a gift letter if the funds are a gift, or details about any loans.
Property Information:
Details about the repossessed property, including the address, listing information, and purchase price.
Purchase Agreement:

Mortgage Pre-Approval Letter:
If you've obtained pre-approval for a mortgage, provide the pre-approval letter from your lender.
Proof of Funds for Closing Costs:
Documentation demonstrating that you have sufficient funds to cover closing costs, which may include attorney fees, title insurance, and other fees associated with the transaction.
Gift Letters (if applicable):
If any portion of your down payment is a gift from a family member or friend, a gift letter confirming that the funds are a gift and not a loan.
Additional Documentation for Unique Circumstances:
In some cases, lenders may request additional documentation based on your unique financial situation or the property's condition.
Before submitting any documents, it's advisable to check with your lender to ensure you have the most up-to-date and accurate information for your specific situation. Additionally, working with a mortgage broker or loan officer can help you navigate the process and provide guidance on the necessary documentation for purchasing a repossessed house.

OBTAINING A MORTGAGE: SOME COMMON QUESTIONS
Be Proactive: Once you have mortgage approval, engage directly with estate agents and don't rely solely on online property searches to find your dream home
|
Identify nonessential expenses that you can reduce or eliminate. Redirect the money you save into your home savings fund. This might include dining out less, cutting subscription services, or finding more costeffective alternatives for everyday expenses.
|
Remember that the homebuying process involves more than just the down payment, so it's essential to be prepared for additional costs. Consult with a financial advisor to tailor a savings plan based on your individual circumstances and goals.
|
Communication is Key:
Choose a broker who communicates effectively and is responsive to your questions. Clear communication is essential throughout the mortgage process.
|
Variable rate mortgages
A variable rate is linked to ECB interest rates so monthly payments may rise or fall.
|
Obviously you will need to give personal details such as your name, address, phone number, date of birth & number of dependents (if any).
|
The overall economic health of Ireland plays a significant role in determining mortgage rates. Factors such as GDP growth, unemployment rates, and inflation can impact the decision-making of the Central Bank of Ireland, which, in turn, affects interest rates.
|
Also you will be asked how long you have lived at your current address as well as details of your previous address if you moved less than 3/5 years ago.
