Will I save money by re-mortgaging?
You will save money if you can switch to a cheaper rate.
WE WOULD NEVER ADVOCATE THAT YOU SWITCH YOUR MORTGAGE FROM A TRACKER RATE TO A VARIABLE RATE UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES.
How much can I save?
Switching your variable mortgage to another provider could save you thousands of euro in interest payments over the
lifetime of the mortgage.
Example:
- Current Interest Rate 4.50% Variable
- Current Mortgage Balance €250,000
- Property Value €420,000
- Remaining Term 20 Years
By switching this mortgage to a 3.85% (APR 3.92%) variable mortgage you will save interest of:
- €127.13 per month
- €30,511 over the term of the mortgage
Also by "overpaying" the €127.13 to your new lender you could shorten the mortgage by over 2 years and save even more
in interest payments!
Lending Guidelines for Switching Mortgage
- Typically for home loans only
- Loans available for up to 90% of home value
- Loans available to include renovations to property
- Loans available to include debt consolidation of up to €40,000
- Certain lenders will contribute up to €1,000 towards your legal expenses

What is the Application Process?
1. Click on the Apply Now! link opposite and complete/submit
the Online Mortgage Application form.
2. We will review the form and contact you to discuss
what mortgage amount you are likely to qualify for based on our initial calculations on the information you provided. This
may involve some more pre-qualifying questions.
3. Once we are satisfied that you can qualify for the
mortgage, we can move to a full application. This is where the real work begins! We will inform you what documents you
will need to gather to complete an application. If required, we are happy to meet you in our office here in 18 Fitzwilliam
Sq South, Dublin 2 or a convenient place of your choosing.
4. We will then assemble and present your application
in the most favorable manner with a view to obtaining a formal Approval in Principle. Once we submit your case to a lender
there will be a credit bureau check carried out and the lender will assess the application. This process can take up to two
weeks. The lender will liaise with us regarding any queries that may arise. We charge a fee of €100 on formal submission
and a further €395 on receipt of a formal loan offer.
5. Your approval in Principle document will be sent to
you once it is issued. This will outline any conditions that may have to be met although we will ensure that these should
be minimal.
6. The lender’s valuer will charge you a fee, normally
€130, for this report. Once the report goes to the lender your formal Loan Offer should follow within a week.
7. Your Loan Offer will contain certain conditions that
must be met. We will advise you on all of these conditions including the appropriate Mortgage Protection and Home Insurance
Cover. We will also liaise with your solicitor and lender to ensure that you have a smooth mortgage drawdown.
We will guide you through the entire process from initial query to successful drawdown!
