    as the tittle suggests, myself and the OH are applying for a mortgage in principal with EBS, there rate is 3.7% which seems to be one of the best on the market?

    I know a competitive rate is important, but dealing and working with the bank is very important too, any feedback, advive or help greatly appreicated

    AIB are looking to be the lowest in the market. They have 3.4% starting in July and expect to go 3% soon after. There LTV rate is 3.1

    We have had a mortgage with ebs for 5 years. They were the only company who would offer us a mortgage.
    Found them excellent to deal with. They try twice for the mortgage, so if it's due on the 5th of the month and your wages don't go in until the 6th, they will try again on the 12th. No charges or penalties.
    Haven't had any issues at all.

    I would not agree with this. I found them very difficult to deal with. If going with aib i would avoid emortgages and deal with a branch directly

    EBS are grand, I'm due to draw down soon so hopefully AIB will pass on the rate cut the EBS or offer a cash back deal or something.

    EBS open through lunch and offer meeting outside 9-5 which I found helpful

    In my experience, EBS are never in any rush to help you. But AIB and BOI were the same.

    I'm with EBS and found them alright to deal with. But i am disappointed they didn't pass on the same rate cut as their Parent company AIB as they normally do. I don't think its a good sign by them. If i was going again i'd avoid them.

    Really that's not my experience, I rang them up and said I want a mortgage and it was all done over the phone only dropped into a branch once to sign a form

    They will shortly I'm told, either that or a cash back offer. Once AIB have lapped up all the positive publicity it'll happen I'm sure.

    Agree with you there.......they're never eager to pass anything on
