Mortgages are child's play according to Bank of Ireland Mortgages with the release of its three new mortgages guides. After researching consumer attitudes towards obtaining a mortgage, the bank found that buying a first home was considered a confusing and stressful process.

Finding Your New Home is designed to give anyone viewing a property simple advice on how to assess a potential home. It includes an extensive list of questions, a property scoring section and colourful "we're moving" postcards. Your First Home uses a 17-step map to explain the mortgage process for first-time buyers. Old hands are not forgotten and Moving On, Moving Up explains procedures for moving or extending a home.

All three new guides received the UK Crystal Mark for easy-to-understand, customer-driven communications. For further information call 1850 365 365 or ring your local Bank of Ireland branch.
