    Hello.
    I am beginning to question whether I have a mortgage that is not sustainable to pay off. We have €235k remaining on out mortgage and we are 1 year into it. We have a combined salary of €90,000. We are both in permanent jobs . However, with water and property tax coming down the line, was it was to get the mortgage of this size? Is it a large or small mortgage for Dublin standards . Interested to see what people think
    Thanks.

    If you can afford the repayments then it's sustainable. I think it's a very sustainable mortgage at first glance.

    Mortgage just over 2.5 times your salaries. Sounds sustainable to me.

    As for the size of it, well it would be big for where I live, but for Dublin it sounds like a relatively small one. Plus if we are to believe the media reports, you own a property in a place which has fast rising house prices, so you may well be sitting on an decent investment, as long as its in the right area.
