Mortgage Rates

The difference between the total payments over the term of the mortgage and the principal sum borrowed is interest.

On a 30-year mortgage the total interest on the loan (assume interest rate 4%) will equal to approximately 60% of the cost of the property. This is a large amount of money, and this is another good reason why you should use a professional mortgage adviser when buying your home.

For example, if the house price is €300,000 estimated total interest will be €180,000.

Interest rates are the price lenders charge for advancing you money.

Interest rates have risen sharply in Europe over the past nine months. Within the Euro area the Benchmark ECB interest rate is now 4%. This compares with the era of zero or near zero ECB rates which prevailed for the past eight years.

We expect rates to continue to rise until inflation gets under control.

There are currently some signs of inflation easing but the ECB wants to see it moving back to about 2%. At this point it is predicted that conditions may be right for the ECB to bring back its base interest rate to 2%. 

Depositors will also be seeking a better return on their savings, and this will feed into a new norm for mortgage rates. Banks have been very slow to increase deposit rates.

House prices

In Ireland the huge demand for housing, very high rents, strong availability of money and the extension of government supports will underpin house prices. Rising mortgage costs will inevitably impact affordability and will act to dampen prices in 2023.
