A narrow window is available now for home owners to lock into good value fixed rates, most likely with other lenders.

 

What's going to happen interest rates?

Nobody knows is the simple answer but an optimistic scenario is as follows.

  • 2023- rates increase further.
  • 2024 - rates flatten out at high levels as inflation subsides.
  • 2025 - inflation gets under control at around 2% and rates steady or drop slightly
  • 2026- base rates remain at 2% for medium term and banks charge margins in region of 1.5% to 2% over base rates

So an optimistic outlook, in our opinion, is that in a few years time mortgage rates may stabilise around 4%.This rate is more like the norm that many young buyers have never seem. Prior to the financial crash, the conventional wisdom was that fixing at 5% for 5 years was attractive.

This is an optimistic scenario and mortgage holders should act conservatively when considering the risks to their personal finances and act prudently to protect their wealth.

Switching from a tracker rate.

There are approximately 200,000 tracker mortgages remaining in Ireland. Lenders stopped issuing tracker mortgages in 2008.

Typical tracker mortgage rates are calculated at a margin of between 1% and 1.5% over the ECB base rate, Tracker mortgages are in the news again because the ECB base rates have risen by 3.75% and in turn these increases have been passed onto the tracker mortgage holders in full.

It seems highly likely that the base rate will rise further more over the coming months.

Options

1.Do nothing and pay the increased monthky payments and hope that the ECB rates decease.

2.Switch to different product within your own bank. If you do this you will not be able to return to a tracker rate. This may be the best option but you need to be sure you are getting a competitive rate.

3.Switch to a different lender who is offering better value than your own bank can offer. We can arrange this switch for you..
