Can one person in a married couple take out a mortgage?

This is a question we regularly get, and it’s a tricky answer because it’s both ‘yes’ and ‘no’. If the property is a homeloan the answer is ‘no’, if it’s a buy to let then the answer is ‘yes’.

Perhaps you are wondering why this might be a question? Normally it’s because one of the couple have an issue that would adversely affect the mortgage application, such as a spouse who has a bad credit rating, or they might have other debts (like cars or personal loans).

Another thing that we see is the likes of Stamp 4 status or a persons legal status being an issue so in this case you might see them factored in when it comes to the running costs estimated but the lender will not factor in any of their income, this then puts very negative pressure on the application.

Can it be done? Not without committing a version of mortgage fraud. Regulated entities are required to disclose all facts to the bank when making a credit application on behalf of a customer (CP10 declaration), …

An unusual mortgage approval

That banks are lending enough is evidenced in gross lending contraction, that they simply ‘aren’t lending’ is factually incorrect.

We encounter all kinds of strange paths to homeownership with our clients and thought it might be worth showing a recent example which probably never would have made it through without a broker, branch banking typically run a mile from this type of case or don’t spot the angle.

In this instance we had a permanent worker with a child and no savings. This instantly has a few negatives, having children reduces your borrowing capacity and not having savings diminishes any hope left.

With this case in particular though, there were other aspects that swayed it. The client lived with a relative who was selling a property and moving in with a sibling, some of the profits were going to go towards helping our client make a purchase.

A gift alone normally won’t help you get a loan, you have to prove repayment capacity, some lenders will let the whole deposit come from a gift but you still …

Online Mortgage, Dublin Ireland

We are fans of technology and that is why way back in 2007 we went for a fully transparent business model which would allow our clients to track their mortgage on our system which uses the same level of security as online banking.

The current method of an online [glossary id=’6898′ slug=’mortgage’ /] application has not developed in Ireland to the extent that it could have, in part due to a collapse of lending.

We envisage that in time it will all be done online and electronically which will be good for everybody, brokers in particular as currently we end up using vast amounts of paper to replication applications to different lenders. The indexing of documents so that they can be sent securely online from one database to another is the next step.

In terms of when that will happen? Probably not for a few years yet, the systems don’t exist in banks to accept documents like this yet, a [glossary id=’6802′ slug=’broker’ /] could change easily because they have smaller less mission critical systems to work with. By that …
