Sorry to start a new topic on the subject of mortgages. I know we have quite a few others, but I didn't know where to fit this one in, and maybe it's important enough to be deserving of it's own topic.

Essentially the new mortgage changes for first time buyer boil down to the following: First-time buyers will now be able to borrow any amount with a deposit of 10%, provided they meet other lending criteria.

I'm going to publish a few links below to further reading. Also, independent.ie published a graphic on the topic. I hope I don't get burned for posting that here, but it really helps explain your options....
