Important

  • Eligibility checks apply the Central Bank's DBR (50%), LTV brackets, and age-at-maturity caps (65 salaried / 70 for nationals and self-employed). Banks also evaluate AECB credit score, employment tenure, and source of income.
  • Off-plan property is capped at 50% LTV regardless of nationality. Second-property purchases face tighter caps (65% for nationals, 60% for residents).
  • Tier labels reflect typical bank salary thresholds; bank-specific products vary.
  • Final approval depends on bank underwriting and credit history. Speak with one of our licensed mortgage advisors before committing.
