Key mortgage terms explained:
LTV: LTV stands for loan to value. This is the ratio between the amount you borrow and value of the property or the purchase price, whichever is lower. For example, if a property value is €200,000 and the loan is €150,000 then the LTV is 75%.
APRC: APRC means annual percentage rate of charge.
Standard / Owner Occupier Mortgage Rate:
- Owner Occupier rates are effective from 18th July 2019 and are subject to change.
- At the end of a fixed rate period, customers on a fixed rate can choose from our range of fixed rate options or roll to the LTV Variable rate applicable at that time.
- Customers on a variable rate can choose from our range of fixed rates.
- To avail of a lower LTV fixed rate a property valuation report may be required.
The lender is Bank of Ireland Mortgages. Lending criteria and terms and conditions apply. A typical mortgage to buy your home of €100,000 over 20 years with 240 monthly instalments costs €615.79 per month at 4.2% variable (Annual Percentage Rate of Charge (APRC) 4.3%). APRC includes €150 valuation fee and mortgage charge of €175 paid to the Property Registration Authority. The total amount you pay is €148,114.60. We require property and life insurance. You mortgage your home to secure the loan. Maximum loan is generally 3.5 times gross annual income and 80% of the property value (90% of the property value for first-time buyers). A 1% interest rate rise would increase monthly repayments by €54.02 per month. The cost of your monthly repayments may increase – if you do not keep up your repayments you may lose your home.
