Getting out of a fixed rate - PTSB ?

    With all that's going on at the moment it seems very difficult to get some solid information about options for mortgage holders.

    I'm lucky enough to have a property with less than 50% LTV. However we fixed for 10 years (seemed a good option at the time) and have 7 years of the fixed term left.

    We recently received a letter offering MVR (Managed Variable Rate) but upon enquiry I got different information from different people. The latest information I received over the phone from PTSB is that it would cost "about €20,000" to break out of the fixed rate.

    From some commentary on the radio it would seem that the banks are no longer allowed to do this and with a good LTV we should be allowed to move off the fixed if we wish ?

    Does anyone know what the most up to date information is in this situation ? It seems to be different answers depending on who you're talking to.
