What You Need for a Public Sector Mortgage

To qualify for a public sector mortgage, applicants must meet certain criteria:

Eligibility Criteria

Employment Stability

  • If you are permanent, you are eligible immediately. No 6-month waiting period required for most public sector roles.

Probationary Period

  • Unlike applying with the pillar banks, we can often secure approval while you are still on probation, provided your role is a standard public sector track.

Income Verification

  • Documentation of your basic salary, allowances, and overtime

Age Requirements

  • Applicants must be at least 18, with the mortgage term not extending beyond age 70

Overtime & Bonus

We use a 1-year average to assess overtime. If your overtime has been consistent, we can factor in up to 100% of that average into your borrowing power.

  • Nurses (HSE): Shift premiums, allowances, and overtime included
  • Doctors (HSE): Overtime, allowances, and additional payments included
  • Gardaí: All allowances recognised
  • Emergency Services: Overtime, allowances, and shift premiums considered
  • Civil Servants: Approved overtime and additional payments recognised

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!

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.

As a couple living in the UAE and relocating to Ireland this year, John provided clear, informed and honest advice as first time buyers. John was selfless with his time, outlining a detailed road map for us which we greatly appreciated. Highly recommend.

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.
