FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

Which bank is best for mortgages in Ireland?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. The best mortgage depends on your income, deposit, and whether you're a first-time buyer. That’s why mortgage comparisons in Ireland are so valuable. Brokers like MMAdvisors compare offers from all major lenders, including alternative and non-bank providers, to find the best mortgage rates Ireland has to offer, tailored to your unique profile.

Is it possible to secure a fixed-rate mortgage for 30 years in Ireland?

They are available, but not as widely offered as shorter-term fixed rates. Most fixed-rate mortgages in Ireland range from 3 to 5 years, but some lenders now offer longer-term products. At MMAdvisors, we help you find lenders offering mortgages with interest rates in Ireland that suit your long-term goals, including extended fixed terms if available.

What is the average cost of a mortgage in Ireland?

This depends on your loan size, interest rate, and term. For example, a €300,000 mortgage over 30 years at 4% interest may cost around €1,432 per month. Use a free tool like the Irish Mortgage Calculator or speak to a broker to calculate the exact cost for your situation.

Is it worth using a mortgage advisor?

Absolutely. A broker gives you access to multiple lenders, not just one bank, meaning you can secure the cheapest mortgage rates in Ireland for your needs. Plus, MMAdvisors charges no broker fee. We’re paid only when your mortgage is successfully drawn down.

What are the rules for mortgage borrowing in Ireland?

Here are the basics:

  • First-time buyers: borrow up to 4x gross income
  • Deposit needed: 10% for those buying their first home, 20% for everyone else
  • You must show repayment capacity and a clean credit history

Brokers like MMAdvisors simplify these rules and help you apply online for mortgage loans in Ireland—guiding you from pre-approval to final drawdown.

What are the best mortgage rates?

Rates change regularly and depend on your deposit size, income, and lender. Some providers offer cashback; others offer lower rates with fewer perks. With full mortgage comparisons in Ireland, we help you weigh total repayment costs, not just the headline rate, so you can choose the right product.

Is there a chance mortgage rates will fall in Ireland during 2025?

Forecasts are uncertain, but experts suggest Irish mortgage rates may begin to stabilise in 2025, depending on European Central Bank (ECB) policy. That said, holding off may result in greater expenses if rates continue to be high. Locking in a competitive rate now, then switching later, may be a smarter move, especially for first-time buyers.

Should I get a 25 or 35-year mortgage?

A 35-year mortgage lowers monthly repayments, making it attractive for younger buyers. However, a 25-year mortgage typically means lower overall interest paid.
