    My partner and I applied for a mortgage on thursday with AIB for €200k they said it should take 4-5days for approval! but since this we have seen a house that we like for €210k, can i just ring mortgage advisor to see can she change amount on application or will i need to reapply all over again??
    Any advice appreciated 😊

    It might have to go back to the underwriters for re-approval since you are applying for more, if you have to do it again. Get approval for the max possible amount.

    The banks have no problem decreasing the amount

    No you shouldn't need to do that again. Unless they've changed

    They wont lend you 100% of the cost of the house. 90% max. So for a house on sale for 210k, the max you can apply for is 189k.

    You just need to advise the bank of the new purchase price asap however you also need to advise them of the new address, if freehold or leasehold, year built and how many rooms/bedrooms etc.
