Maximum loan to value of owner occupier residential properties
Lending levels are subject to monthly repayment burden, typically not exceeding c. 35% of borrower’s disposable income and will vary according to individual circumstances.
Mortgage loan requests are considered on the basis of proof of income, financial status and demonstrated repayment capacity (including capacity to repay at higher interest rates). Mortgage loans are not available to people under 18 years.
If you do not provide us with the requested documentation, we will not be able to assess your application and credit cannot be granted.
If your mortgage loan is an owner occupier mortgage, repayment terms of up to 35 years may be available to you, subject to maximum age restrictions, such as, 66 years if you are PAYE employee (or the 71st birthday, subject to documentary confirmation of retirement age of 70) or 71 years if you are self-employed. If your mortgage loan is a buy-to-let mortgage, repayment terms of up to 25 years may be available to you.
Mortgage loans are secured by a first legal mortgage/charge over your property. The property must be within the Republic of Ireland.
If your mortgage loan is a foreign currency loan because its’ currency is different to either:
(a) The currency of the income or asset you intend to use to repay the mortgage loan; and/or
(b) The currency of the European Economic Area State in which you are resident.
You should be aware that fluctuations in the relevant currency exchange rates may affect the value of your outstanding mortgage balance and/or your repayment.
This could mean that you may find it difficult to afford your mortgage repayments. We can only facilitate one non-euro currency per mortgage application.
Your AIB Mortgage Advisor can tell you exactly what our current interest rates are and how they translate into monthly repayments. Here is a brief description of the types of interest rates available:
(i) Variable interest rate
A variable interest rate can go up and/or down resulting in your monthly repayments rising and/or falling over the life of your mortgage loan.
(ii) Fixed interest rate
(a) Repay the mortgage loan in full (including interest).
(b) Convert your fixed interest rate to an appropriate variable interest rate or another fixed interest rate (if offered by us at that time).
(c) Make a partial out-of-course repayment.
Worked Example: A = € 100,000 the amount of the premature payment or balance converted to another rate
U = 2 years (24 months) on basis you fixed for 5 years (60 months) and are now breaking out of fixed rate after 3 years (36 months) D = 2% on the basis you fixed at a 5 year rate of 5.25% and the fixed rate for the unexpired period (i.e. 24 months) is 3.25%. So, applying the formula A x U x D: € 100,000 x 24/12 x 2% = € 4,000
(a) a new fixed interest rate and period, (if offered by us at that time); or
(b) a variable interest rate, at our then prevailing rates applicable to your mortgage loan.
If you do not exercise a choice, our standard variable interest rate will apply to your mortgage loan.
You may choose to have a portion of your mortgage loan on a fixed interest rate and the other portion on a variable interest rate. This will enable you to benefit from the advantages of each interest rate in whatever proportions you choose.
You can speak to us about the following flexible repayment options that may be available to you:
These options are subject to you meeting the eligibility criteria and terms and conditions and, if granted, may affect the repayment amount and/or the term of the mortgage loan.
You will have some expenses to pay in connection with the mortgage loan. Here are some examples of the expenses that may be payable:
(i) Valuation Report
When appropriate, a valuation of the property must be carried out by a valuer on our residential mortgage valuers panel and can only be arranged by contacting our Central Valuations Team on 1890 100 051. This valuation will cost you €150. If the valuation of the property is undertaken more than four months before the requested date of drawdown of the loan or of the final stage payment, a re-valuation will be required which will cost you €65.
(ii) Your own advisors’ fees
You will pay any fees, charges and expenses that you are charged by any of your own advisers in connection with the mortgage loan.
(iii) Stamp Duty
Stamp duty is payable on your new home. Your solicitor will work out how much stamp duty you owe.
(iv) Our solicitors’ fees
If the security includes a new mortgage over property that is not your private dwelling place or holiday home, you will have to pay our solicitors’ fees in connection with the mortgage loan.
(v) Insurance
For your own protection as well as ours, it will be a condition in your letter of offer that your property is adequately insured, at your own cost.
If you or your dependants intend to use the property as a principal place of residence, you must show evidence of mortgage protection insurance, unless you are exempt under the Consumer Credit Act 1995. These policies are designed to pay off your mortgage in full if you or your co-borrower die unexpectedly. The correct type of life assurance will depend on the amount, term and type of borrowing (you can seek this insurance through us or from other sources).
Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c. is a tied agent of Irish Life Assurance plc. for life and pensions business.
(vi) Surcharge Interest
Arrears attract surcharge interest at 6% per annum in addition to the interest rate that applies to the loan. Surcharge can be avoided by making all repayments when due.
Your letter of loan offer will detail the number, frequency and amount of your mortgage repayments.
If you choose a variable interest rate, there is no guarantee that repaying the monthly repayments detailed in the credit agreement will be sufficient to pay the full amount (including interest) that you owe us under the credit agreement. This is because the detailed monthly repayments are only correct as of the date of the credit agreement and variable interest rates can go up resulting in your monthly repayments rising over the life of your mortgage loan. However, variable interest rate may also go down resulting in your monthly repayments falling over the life of your mortgage loan.
If you cancel or make a claim for reimbursement of a direct debit repaying your mortgage account, and fail to make alternative arrangements for payment, your account will go into arrears.
If you do not repay the mortgage loan when due then you will be in breach of the terms and conditions of your mortgage and AIB will take the appropriate steps to recover the amount due. This could mean that AIB will commence legal proceedings seeking an order for possession against you, which will put your home at risk and affect your credit rating, and limit your ability to access credit in the future. All of your obligations in connection with the mortgage loan will be detailed in your credit agreement.
The following examples may give you an indication of the total amount payable at the end of a typical mortgage.
Owner Occupier Property
A typical €100,000, 20 year mortgage for an Owner Occupier Residential Property with LTV >50% <= 80% will have a variable interest rate of 3.30% and APRC 3.37%, and 240 monthly repayments of €569.28. If the interest rate does not vary during the term of the mortgage, the total cost of credit i.e. the total amount repayable less than the amount of the loan would be €36,901.24(inclusive of €150.00 and €65.00 valuation report fees and security release fee of €60.00). The total amount repayable would be 136,901.24. The effect of a 1% increase in interest rates for such a mortgage will add €51.81 to the monthly repayments.
Buy-To-Let/ Investment Property
A typical €100,000, 20 year mortgage for a Buy-To-Let/Investment Property will have a Standard Variable interest rate of 4.85% and 4.97% APRC and 240 monthly repayments of €650.63. If the APR does not vary during the term of the mortgage, the total cost of credit i.e. the total amount repayable less than the amount of the loan would be €56,426.20 (inclusive of €150.00 and €65.00 valuation report fees and security release fee of €60). The total amount repayable would be €156,426.20. The effect of a 1% increase in interest rates for such a mortgage will add €55.55 to the monthly repayments.
