Central Bank rules typically allow first-time buyers to borrow four times their income
First-time buyers will be able to borrow up to five times their income under a new scheme by one lender.
Nua Money will be the only lender to do so, with some others only offering up to four and a half times a person's salary, according to the Irish Independent.
Central Bank rules typically allow first-time buyers to borrow four times their income, as long as they have a 10 percent deposit, unless a bank is granted an exemption to go slightly higher than that.
