    Avril Byrne on main st Bray. Her husband, Heever, managed to get me approved against the odds at the height of the madness. One warning re all of them. When they have you in their debt so to speak, they will sell you mortgage insurance. You; trying to appear as a responsible person will buy whatever is thrown at you unless you price around for options first. So be forearmed in this regard.

    Why not just go to the bank or building society with the lowest rate for what you want?

    Because you need someone to tell lies for you.

    While I think that is tongue in cheek, I wonder if there are people still telling porkie pies on their loan applications. Sorry I know thats off topic.

    Sherry Fitz Mortgage Brokers provide this service. Broking that is not lying.

    Well no, it's not really tongue in cheek at all. Nor is it off topic. We are more or less told we need a deposit of 8-10% and we can borrow five times our gross earnings. So therefore if you have half the deposit, you borrow the rest from the credit union and say you got it from your parents. Lie no.1. You then pull in everything you can to inflate your apparent income and lie about that. Thats what a mortgage broker is for. Otherwise as you say, just go up to the bank where honesty will not get you very far.

    He he....this is just one of the reason for de bubble that's a bursting! All in the serach for negative equity!

    Easy, wait another year or two. House prices aren't going anywhere but down. Rents, cost of living, lifestyle expectations, job security will be lower so people will do it the old fashion way and save...... no need to lie through a broker.

    The days of the broker are over to some extent, it will be a niche more than a norm.
