All your mortgage questions, answered.

There's no point in denying it - the current housing market can feel like a losing battle for many first-time buyers. Between the challenges of saving for a deposit to grappling with the shortage of properties available, taking that first step onto the property ladder is not always a linear journey. It can be especially tough if you're not clued in on all steps and requirements that lie ahead, making it essential to wrap your head around what's required before you embark on your buying or building journey. In the knowledge that being prepared is half the battle, there's a lot to be gained from sitting down with some quality property experts and firing through any questions or concerns you have. That's why EBS are back with another Home Truths Mortgage Masterclass for first-time buyers - the ultimate run-down of the entire buying process aimed specifically at those taking on the challenge for the first time. On Wednesday 22 March from 7-8 pm, Home Truths will be streamed live online, giving you an opportunity to chat with a whole host of property pros from the comfort of your own home. The event is set to cover everything you need to know about purchasing your first home - from navigating the current housing market right through to gaining that all-important mortgage approval. As always, we'll have an expert-led panel on-hand to answer each and every question, creating an informative space for buyers to wrap their heads around the steps required. Comedian Eric Lalor will lead the discussion, alongside four brilliant guests who'll each bring their own area of expertise to the virtual event:

• Quantity Surveyor Shay Lally, better known online as @Houses_to_Restore, will share some insight into buying a second-hand home, covering everything from restoration tips to the red flags buyers should look out for and avoid.
• Property Solicitor Aoife Walsh will be on hand to answer any questions surrounding the legal side of the buying process, as well providing insight into the current property market.
• Founder of GetHouseSurvey.ie and host of the Get House Podcast, Noel Tate, has a long-standing history of making the mortgage process as stress-free and seamless as possible for buyers, and will be sharing his tried-and-tested tips with all in attendance.
• EBS Mortgage Master Naomi Battle will be joining us to guide buyers through each and every step of the mortgage process, from approval in principle to the first mortgage drawdown.

With so many insiders and experts in one space, tailoring their advice specifically towards those looking to buy for the first time, it's sure to be a very insightful evening for anyone looking to take that first step onto the property ladder.
