Alongside your mortgage application, 
you’ll need documents like:
• 
Proof of identification – your current passport or driver’s licence and a recent utility bill.
• 
Proof of income  – payslips if you’re a PAYE employee or your most recent 2 years’ audited accounts if you’re self-employed.
• 
Records of your finances – your last 6 months’ current account statements and 6 months’ savings account statements demonstrating regular saving (if your accounts are not with Bank of Ireland).
• 
Cost detail  – either a fixed contract quotation or detailed costings for each element of the build.
• 
Planning permission  – full permission needs to be in place at the mortgage application stage.
• 
Initial valuation report  – completed by a member of our valuers panel
• 
Architect’s/Engineer’s/Building Surveyor’s initial report  – completed by your assigned qualified professional (we’ll give you this form).
• 
Provisional BER certificate –  before your home is built you must indicate what it’s energy performance will be when complete. A registered BER assessor in your area can do this. The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) has a national register of BER assessors.
