    Cashback when you switch

    Over the last year, people who’ve switched their mortgage to Bank of Ireland have discovered just how easy it is. More importantly, they stand to gain an average cashback windfall of €8,000.

    €8,000 is based on 3% of the average mortgage switched to Bank of Ireland in the 12 months to June 2018, with 2% cashback paid on drawdown, and the remaining 1% cashback paid after five years.

      3% Cashback available to First Time Buyers, Movers and Switchers who draw down a new mortgage by 30th June 2019 and hold a Bank of Ireland current account. 2% Cashback on draw down of a new mortgage. 1% bonus in 5 years subject to meeting the conditions of the mortgage. Additional 1% bonus not available for Buy to Let Investment mortgages.

      The lender is Bank of Ireland Mortgages. Lending criteria and terms and conditions apply. Over 18s only. Mortgage approval is subject to assessment of suitability and affordability. You mortgage your property to secure the loan. We require property and life insurance. Maximum loan is generally 3.5 times gross annual income and 80% of the property value but these limits may vary. A typical mortgage 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%). The total amount you pay is €148,114.60. APRC includes €150 valuation fee and mortgage charge of €175 paid to the Property Registration Authority. A 1% interest rate rise would increase monthly repayments by €54.02 per month.


      Warning: The cost of your monthly repayments may increase.

      Warning: If you do not keep up your repayments you may lose your home.

      Warning: You may have to pay charges if you pay off a fixed–rate loan early.

      Warning: If you do not meet the repayments on your loan, your account will go into arrears. This may affect your credit rating, which may limit your ability to access credit in the future.

    Hi there BOI,

    Is there a local number I can call instead of 1890 365 850, calls to this number are outside of my mobile bundle and will be charged.


    Also can you provide a full list of the docs I need to provide to BOI to switch my mortgage to you.
    And a copy of the salary cert you need also.


    I will send you my mobile in a PM now. (Update) actually just spotted you are not accepting PMs so let me know how I can ggive you my number to chat.
    Thanks

    Hi Im currently coming out of a fixed rate mortgage with bank of Ireland and the best fixed rate being offered at moment is 2.9 % which is very expensive. Other banks Are way cheaper. Eg Ulster bank is offering the same length fixed rate mortgages at 2.3%, while also paying towards legal fees and valuation costs involved in switch. Is there any negotiation or matching offered to hold on to existing customers l? We have had mortgage with ye for over 9 years along with Current and deposit accounts and Would expect some customer appreciation

    I’m in the same boat, spike to BOI last week and they weren’t bothered negotiating, strange considering I’m in a good position financially and can make a switch to another lender quite easily, clearly they are not bothered retaining customers!

    Thanks Alison, I think it’s quite clear that BOI mortgage rates are not competitive in the current climate and also there want to retain customers seems to be non existent and evident through the lack of negotiation.

    Thanks Jen

    WE HAVE HAD 3% fixed for last 4 years just about to come out in 1 year/ 3 months time. Would have liked to remain and negotiate as PTSB and AIB seem to allow their fixed rate customers to switch to lower green rate when B3 for higher BER is achieved as our dwelling has this month.


    We will prob switch to AIB if they still have the 2.15% green fixed for 5 years following last friday's announcement of a 0.5% rise.


    Is there a contact email or phone we can use to discuss with BoI Mortgages - particularly to calculate breakage fee against the 1k staying bonus or see if they were willing to negotiate with long standing customers looking at going elsewhere.
