Buyer Borrowing Power Booster
Turn hesitant or "capped-out" buyers into bank-approved bidders by proving A-rated green rate savings underwrite higher mortgage debt capacity.
With a joint income of €85,000, Central Bank rules normally cap borrowing at €340,000. However, qualifying this home for a 3.45% Green Mortgage unlocks €258/mo in lower bank interest, combined with €275/mo in displaced fossil fuel savings (net +€533/mo surplus). Under mortgage broker stress tests, this surplus safely supports up to +€42,500 in additional borrowing capacity, expanding purchasing power to €382,500.

Eliminate 3 hours of unbilled spreadsheet work. Calculate room radiator outputs and export client-ready SEAI tenders in 90 seconds.
Connecting an 8.5 kW heat pump to standard 22mm copper pipework pushes flow velocity to 1.27 m/s, breaching NSAI SR50-2 acoustic limits (< 1.0 m/s) and generating excessive hydraulic resistance that causes heat pump high-pressure lockouts during sub-zero defrost cycles. Install 28mm copper (or 32mm MLCP) from monobloc to manifold + 50L volumiser.
