I recently worked with Pangea Mortgage team for my mortgage, and the entire experience was exceptional from start to finish. They were professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient in explaining every step of the process. They were always quick to respond to my questions, provided honest advice tailored to my situation, and ensured I secured a competitive rate. I always felt supported and well-informed throughout the journey. I highly recommend Pangea Mortgages to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and personable mortgage advisor.Posted on Google![]()

I couldn't recommend John enough. We had been in contact with another well known broker and they were so unhelpful, made the process so stressful! From the moment i rang John, he took control and got us mortgage approved!Posted on Google![]()

I can’t recommend John highly enough. He has been absolutely fantastic throughout our entire mortgage journey. From the very beginning, he was clear, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the whole process. What really stood out was how accommodating he was with last-minute changes in plans. The property market can be stressful and unpredictable, but John handled every twist and turn calmly and professionally. He was always available to answer questions, explain options in simple terms, and guide us through each step with patience. If you’re looking for a reliable, proactive, and supportive mortgage broker, I would highly recommend him. Five-star service all the way.Posted on Google![]()

Absolute pleasure dealing with Advisor (John). He has shown that there is light at the tunnel and hope for hard working families that can't catch a break with some financial institutions. Very easy to deal with and quick responses.

FAQ's About First-Time Buyer Mortgage Broker
To qualify for a first-time buyer mortgage with Pangea Mortgages, you typically need to have not previously purchased a property either alone or with someone else. Additional criteria include being in full-time employment, having a good credit history, and demonstrating sufficient repayment capacity to afford the mortgage. Specific conditions may vary, so please contact us for a personal assessment.
The amount you can borrow as a first-time homebuyer usually depends on your income, financial commitments, and personal circumstances. Generally, mortgages can go up to 3.5 to 4 times your gross annual income. However, every situation is unique, and we recommend discussing your specific circumstances with one of our advisors.
Typically, first-time buyers in Ireland can borrow up to 90% of the property’s value, meaning a minimum deposit of 10% is usually required. There are exceptions and different conditions depending on the situation, so it’s best to speak with a mortgage advisor for the most accurate information.
The Help to Buy (HTB) scheme is designed to assist first-time buyers with obtaining the deposit required for purchasing or building a new house or apartment. The scheme provides a refund of income tax and Deposit Interest Retention Tax (DIRT) paid in Ireland over the previous four years. Eligibility criteria apply, and our advisors can help determine if you qualify and guide you through the application process.
Yes, you may still qualify as a first-time buyer if you have inherited a property but have not purchased one. However, specific conditions apply, and it’s important to discuss your individual situation with a mortgage advisor to understand your options.
The mortgage approval process involves several steps, including assessing your financial situation, determining your borrowing capacity, submitting necessary documents, and undergoing a property valuation. Our team provides step-by-step guidance throughout the entire process, ensuring you understand each stage and what is required.
The duration of the mortgage approval process can vary based on individual circumstances, the completeness of your application, and the property in question. Typically, obtaining an Approval in Principle can take a few days to a few weeks. We strive to make the process as quick and efficient as possible while ensuring thoroughness and accuracy.
