Why people switch
We are Ireland’s largest and oldest mortgage broker over the last 36 years so we know a thing or two about mortgages. We’ll assess your existing mortgage and explore the best rates and deals on the market that would be ideal for you.
Lower monthly repayments
In the vast majority of cases where switching is recommended, a typical mortgage switcher in Ireland can save around €2,400 in the first year alone by moving to a more competitive rate.
Overpayment
Overpayment means paying more than your required monthly mortgage repayment, either regularly or in a lump sum to reduce your term or reduce the total interest you pay over the term.
Cashback offers that can offset legal fees
Cashback offers can give you a real financial boost when switching. This can be used to offset upfront costs, i.e. legal fees, valuation, small renovations, etc.
Funding improvements
A more competitive mortgage rate that results in lower monthly repayments can fund renovation projects you’ve put on the long finger, appliance upgrades or even general furnishing.

What is switching?
Switching is when you move your existing mortgage from your current lender to a new lender (or sometimes a new product with the same lender) to get a better rate, deal, terms or features without changing home.
How much can I save if I switch my mortgage?
Savings depend on your balance, rate and remaining term, but Irish data suggests a typical switcher can save from around €2,400 a year on a modest rate improvement, and in some cases up to €7,500+ a year where the gap between old and new rates is larger.
“Is there a breakage cost if I switch from my existing lender?”
If you’re on a variable rate, there is usually no break fee, so you can switch at any time (subject to the usual costs). If you’re on a fixed rate, you may have to pay a breakage (early repayment) fee, which can be small or “hefty” depending on your lender, how long is left on the fix and where market rates are when you switch.
How much does it cost to switch my mortgage?
Typical out‑of‑pocket costs are mainly legal fees and a valuation, which together often come to roughly €1,500–€2,000 including VAT, though some lenders offer cashback that can cover or offset these costs. You should always weigh these once‑off costs against the annual saving on your new rate to see if switching makes financial sense over the period you expect to stay on that mortgage.
What is overpay in terms of mortgages?
Overpaying means paying more than your required monthly mortgage repayment (or making extra lump‑sum payments) so you clear the loan faster and pay less total interest over time. Many variable‑rate mortgages allow unlimited overpayments, while fixed‑rate loans often allow only limited penalty‑free overpayments, so it’s important to check your own lender’s rules before you start.
