In the latest ‘Property Roundup’ on iProperty Radio, we come to you from the tech HQ of OnlineApplication.io with founder Karl Deeter. We discuss his belief that brokers handle about half of Ireland's mortgage market and provide better outcomes for buyers than going direct to banks. He also criticises Ireland's planning system, noting the country’s ability to solve housing emergencies when motivated (COVID and Ukrainian refugee accommodation) but is not applying the same urgency to the housing crisis now.* OnlineApplication is changing Ireland's mortgage industry by creating technology that processes applications in under 30 minutes with approvals often coming within an hour. Check out OnlineApplication

On the ‘Property Round-Up’ show on iProperty Radio host Carol Tallon sits down with Ciaran Mullooly, MEP and Vice-Chair of the European Parliament's Special Committee on the Housing Crisis. Hear from the former broadcaster-turned-public representative about how the EU's innovative housing approach could impact Ireland, particularly in addressing the housing shortage and promoting positive rural living with a renewed sense of urgency. Ciaran shares his refreshing take on ‘minor’ decentralisation, meaningful public engagement, and socially sustainable rural development. Might these policies finally realise the potential capacity of the construction and MMC industry to deliver, unlocking affordable housing at scale? Watch or listen back to understand how Europe’s new approach to housing offers community-led, industry-informed sustainable solutions to Ireland’s housing crisis, while recognising the need for a thriving rural Ireland.
