Mortgage and Relocation to different county

Hi,

My family and I are looking to move out of Dublin, heading to Cork where we are originally from. Covid has provided an opportunity where I can work from home and going forward, this is the long term strategy.

Now comes the problem!

I have a new mortgage in principal with the new agreed amount but need proof from HR that I'm working full-time from home which is NOT the case! Prior to covid, I was working 2/3 days a week from home but now my company is formalising a long term strategy which is not yet agreed. Possibly, under the new guidelines, I would be expected to be in the office at last once a week or maybe once every two weeks but again the letter from HR states that I work from home ONLY two days a week!

Before I start getting a mortgage broker involved, have people any advice? The bank that is managing the current mortgage is expecting a letter stating that I work from home fulltime before the new mortgage in principal is official.

Thanks,

Can you chat to HR about how the letter is worded? I write these letters for staff all the time and would always consult around wording though I appreciate in a multinational etc that might be tricky. Even to note that contractually you are 2/3 days from home but the company is revisiting its work from home policy and expect that your role will go fully remote in x weeks/months

Hi,
I dealt with this condition for a customer only this month and got it waived. If you want to send me a pm I will advise how I dealt with it.
