A mortgage broker will help you calculate how much you could potentially borrow. MoCo will perform a full credit assessment to calculate your repayment capacity based on several factors including your income and outgoings. The amount available will also be subject to the Central Bank's mortgage lending rules and your credit history. 

MoCo will provide a Letter of Offer (subject to property valuation) at an earlier point in the mortgage journey to give customers confidence in bidding for a property. MoCo’s Letter of Offer is issued only when an underwriter has reviewed and assessed your completed application and supporting documentation. An Approval in Principle is generally provisional and is typically based on a basic calculation of your income and may not involve any validations or in-depth credit assessment of your specific circumstances. MoCo aims to provide its fully assessed Letter of Offer faster than many other lenders provide their provisional Approval in Principle.

With a fixed rate mortgage, your interest rate is set for an agreed period. A fixed rate means that your monthly repayments will remain the same for the duration of this period. At the end of a fixed rate period, you may opt to take another fixed rate from our range of fixed rates available at that time, or your mortgage will move to the prevailing variable interest rate offered at the time, which is referred to as your "roll-off" variable rate.

Your repayments will be based on the amount you borrow, the interest rate and the term of the loan. You can get an idea of how much you would be repaying by using our repayments calculator. To use the calculator click here
