Equity Release

When you borrow more money against your property for home improvements, educational or medical expenses,
we may be able to help when you need to top up your mortgage.

What is Equity Release?

Equity is the difference between the value of your property and what you owe on your mortgage loan. If the value of your home is greater than what you now owe on your mortgage, you may be able to ‘top up’ your mortgage through Equity Release, which is an additional mortgage loan secured on the property.

For Example

Your home is currently worth€300,000
Current Mortgage€150,000
You could release equity up to €120,000 (up to 90% of the value of your property)

With Equity Release you can

  • Borrow anything from €15,000 up to 90% of the value in your home.
  • Get our most competitive rates.
  • Choose a term that suits you best, from 5-30 years. This term can differ from your current mortgage term.
  • When you release equity in your home we’ll give you 2% of your new mortgage back as Cashback. Cashback is not available with our High Value Mortgage fixed interest rate or our standard variable interest rate.
