If you are Self Employed

  • Your last two years’ certified/audited accounts

Additional documents that may be needed for your application

  • You may also be required to provide identification documents and confirmation of your address. This is usually a current valid Passport or Driving Licence and recent utility bill.
  • Gift Letter (a standard form provided by the Bank to show that a gift does not need to be repaid).
  • You may need to provide your last years’ Employee Detail Summary from Revenue.ie if you are relying on variable income to support your mortgage application.
