Non-bank lender, Finance Ireland, has announced another increase in its variable rates. This comes just a month after the previous increase. The new rates will range from 6.25% to 6.65%, depending on the loan to value. These rates are some of the highest seen in the market in decades, aside from those charged by vulture funds. The increase will be effective from July 26th for residential mortgage holders.
Buy-to-let variable rates and fixed rates will remain unchanged. Most of the lender’s mortgages are currently on fixed rates. Finance Ireland’s rival, ICS Mortgage, also recently increased its variable rates, with a range between 6.25% and 6.4% depending on the loan-to-value. These rate increases follow a similar move by non-bank lender Finance Ireland.
Permanent TSB, another mortgage lender, has also announced an increase in its rates. Their standard variable rate for homeowners will go up by 0.35 percentage points to 4.30%. Home-loan Managed Variable Rates (MVRs) will increase by 0.05 to 0.40 percentage points, depending on the loan-to-value.
Haven and EBS, two other mortgage lenders, have also raised their variable rates recently. Haven increased their variable mortgage rates by 0.35 percentage points, with an 80% loan-to-value rate of 3.5%. EBS raised the interest rate on their buy-to-let variable mortgage to 5.43%.
The rate increases from non-bank lenders Finance Ireland and ICS Mortgages have made their rates among the highest in the market. A typical first-time buyer with a 90% loan-to-value will face a significant difference in rates. For example, AIB offers a mortgage of €300,000 at a cost of €1,240 per month, while Finance Ireland’s rate would amount to €1,845 per month. This is a difference of €605 per month.
The recent rate increases coincide with the European Central Bank’s decision to raise key rates for the eighth time.
