DAVY VIEW
Long-term mortgage rates have not existed in Ireland – this is now changing, with Finance Ireland offering a viable product. The innovation is made possible because of Finance Ireland’s forward funding model with M&G providing an advantage over traditional bank lending models. Irish borrowers have tended to favour shorter rates, these products are likely to spur changes and expand the re-mortgaging market. Elsewhere, new mortgage market trends confirm the market remains competitive, with exiting banks maintaining share and PTSB and non-lenders growing.
